This book examines literary representations of human and non-human animality in British Romanticism. The book's novel approach focuses on the role of aesthetic taste in the Romantic understanding of the animal. Concentrating on the discourses of the sublime, the beautiful, and the ugly, Heymans argues that the Romantics' aesthetic views of animality influenced--and were influenced by--their moral, scientific, political, and theological judgment. The study reveals how feelings of environmental alienation and disgust played a positive moral role in animal rights poetry, why ugliness presented such a major problem for Romantic-period scientists and theologians, and how, in political writings, the violent yet awe-inspiring power of exotic species came to symbolize the beauty and terror of the French Revolution. Linking the works of Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge, Byron, the Shelleys, Erasmus Darwin, and William Paley to the theories of Immanuel Kant and Edmund Burke, this book brings an original perspective to the fields of ecocriticism, animal studies, and literature and science studies"--Provided by publisher. 000908446 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$y18th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000908446 650_0 $$aAnimals in literature. 000908446 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000908446 650_0 $$aPhilosophy in literature. 000908446 650_0 $$aAesthetics in literature. 000908446 650_0 $$aRomanticism$$zGreat Britain. 000908446 852__ $$bebk 000908446 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1039285$$zOnline Access 000908446 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:908446$$pGLOBAL_SET 000908446 980__ $$aEBOOK 000908446 980__ $$aBIB 000908446 982__ $$aEbook 000908446 983__ $$aOnline
