    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.

    Conference convenors: Susie Jordan, Peter Howell, Gwee Li Sui and Prof.
    Paul Hamilton. Contact Susie Jordan, 355 Jamaica Street, London E1 3HU,
