Recenzii
“Literary critics and historians of medicine willlearn much from Gavin Budge’s wide-ranging and erudite study, which argues thatRomantic medicine influenced writers from Coleridge through Hazlitt toMartineau, Stowe through Carlyle to the Pre-Raphaelites. … I learned a gooddeal from this study.” (Richard C. Sha, The British Society for Literature andScience, bsls.ac.uk, December, 2015)
"Budge's provocative attention to the productive nature of illness is just one of the ways that this impressive monograph advances Romantic studies... What is most remarkable about this study is the impressive research that grounds it. Indeed, Budge demonstrates an immense wealth of learning in English and American nineteenth-century literature, the history of medicine and religion, and criticism from a range of perspectives about his topics... even when Budge gestures to familiar critical and literary territory, he offers fresh interpretations of his topic... Overall, Romanticism, Medicine and the Natural Supernatural is a welcome addition to the growing body of Romantic criticism on medicine and nineteenth-century literature. By approaching bodily illness as a source of literary inspiration,
providing an enormously detailed literary, historical, and critical context for his readings, and expanding our notion of 'Romantic' to cover a wide range of years, Budge encourages his audience to reconsider the many ways that nineteenth-century writers
imagined their bodies in relation to the rapidly changing and increasingly authoritative medical views of them." Michelle Faubert, 1650-1850
