Overview
Romanticism and Speculative Realism features a range of scholars working at the intersection of literary poetics and philosophy. It considers how the writing of the Romantic era reconceptualizes the human imagination, the natural world, and the language that correlates them in radical ways that can advance current speculative debates concerning new ontologies and new materialisms. In their wide-ranging examinations of canonical and non-canonical romantic writers, the scholars gathered here rethink the connections between the human and non-human world to envision speculative modes of social being and ecological politics. Spanning historical and national frameworks—from historical romanticism to contemporary post-romantic ecology, and from British and German romanticism to global modernity—these essays examine life in all its varied forms in, and beyond, the Anthropocene.

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) *
