Sciences of Antiquity - Romantic Antiquarianism, Natural History, and Knowledge Work

Zusatztext Rather than unify elitism and populism (as well as the other differends, or irreconcilable discursive positions, that this classism encrypts) into the nationalist narratives currently being redeployed by culture industries across the globe, Sciences of Antiquity embodies the critical historiography needful to thinking populations. Informationen zum Autor Noah Heringman is Associate Professor of English at the University of Missouri. His previous books include Romantic Rocks, Aesthetic Geology (2004) and Romantic Science: The Literary Forms of Natural History (2003). He has published articles and chapters on Romantic poets, on the history of geology, and on Romanticism and the disciplines. Klappentext Heringman focuses on the illustrators, fieldworkers, and ghostwriters associated with the production of scholarly plate books during the Romantic-era. The volume explores how the expertise acquired by these intellectuals precipitated a major shift in research and forged a broader perception of antiquity, transforming intellectual life.
