Conference at the School of English and Drama

2-3 March 2001
Romanticism and Empirical Method
This conference will investigate the role of empiricism in the formation
of Romanticism. Recent scholarly endeavour has focussed largely on the
field of =91radical science=92; this conference hopes to widen our
understanding of the impact of eighteenth century philosophical and
scientific thought. Particular emphasis will be placed on the
appropriation of empirical methods across newly-emerging bodies of
thought like the life and social sciences as well as poetics, aesthetics
and rhetoric. Submissions may also address physiology, physico-theology,
scientific methodology, and the Scottish enlightenment in the history of
Romantic thought. Interdisciplinary papers are welcome.
