Combining a sophisticated appreciation of the historiographic with nuanced literary analysis, Romantic Pasts is sensitive, insightful and wide-ranging. In its examination of writers from Burke and Wollstonecraft to Godwin, Scott, Macaulay and Carlyle, this book gives an important new perspective on the complex role of feeling in configuring the past.
- Fiona Price, University of Chichester,
Romantic Pasts is much more than a ‘history of feeling’, weaving together a range of complex and sophisticated arguments with literary, historical and theoretical analysis to consider the history of history itself. Historians of emotion will find this splendidly interdisciplinary work to be particularly valuable for its rethinking of the role of sentiment and its emphasis on psychology.
