Reviews

A worthy contribution to the storied encounter between Romanticism and theory, this time through a series of provocations regarding speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, and the new materialisms. Given how many perceive Romanticism as the apotheosis of the material/ideal divide, Romanticism and Speculative Romanticism is a timely and necessary collection. * Orrin N.C. Wang, Professor of English, University of Maryland, USA, and author of Romantic Sobriety: Sensation, Revolution, Commodification, History (2011) * The topic of extinction in all its ramifications, including extinguishing the exceptionalism of the human, is strikingly apt now, but this volume reveals how this and related topics were already embedded in Romantic thought and art. Romanticism and Speculative Realism lays out what was hidden in plain sight. So much of the recent and current work in Romantic studies is encapsulated in these essays, and indeed, the hen kai pan of Romantic speculative thought has never felt more contemporary. * Elizabeth Fay, Professor of English, University of Massachusetts Boston, US, and author of Fashioning Faces: The Portraitive Mode in British Romanticism (2010) *
