Romantic Empiricism - Poetics and the Philosophy of Common Sense 1780-1830

Romantic Empiricism is a timely collection of essays by established and emerging scholars that represents a paradigm shift for the study of British Romanticism. The volume challenges the received view that German Idealist philosophy constitutes the main intellectual reference point for British Romantic writers, arguing instead that the tradition of Scottish Common Sense philosophy, largely overlooked by literary scholars, is a significant influence on Romantic thought.
