Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 Books
Oxford University Press Coleridge and the Doctors
Book SynopsisWhat did Coleridge know about medicine and how did it influence the development of his critical thought? Neil Vickers sets out to answer this question in this radical reinterpretation of Coleridge''s career between 1795 and 1806. Coleridge and the Doctors changes the way we look at Coleridge''s intellectual development and reveals the richness of his involvement in the eighteenth-century tradition of ''philosophical medicine'' and its determining influence on his critical and philosophic stance. The book also contains a revisionary analysis of Coleridge''s dealings with opiates and offers a comprehensive account of British early Romantic medicine.Trade ReviewAltogether Vicker's book is an erudite, elegantly written and utterly compelling re-assessment of Coleridge's illnesses, an indispensable contribution to our knowledge of the poet and the period. * Michael John Kooy *Some books close down the subjects they explore: they spare others the trouble of revisiting the subject for the next half-century. But some, like this one, open avenues. Not only is a wealth of medical and contemporary interpretive detail gathered here into a coherent account, but the potential of the material is fully evident and capable of rich expansion. * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *"[The] refusal to simplify Colerdige's belief systems to package them prettily for students of literary criticism (for example) is one of the many strengths of this splendid book. I doubt that anyone could have compressed more matter into such a short book."--George Rousseau, Nunciusthis scrupulous study, will make a nuanced difference to future readings of Coleridge's poetry. * TLS *Anyone who reads Coleridge's letters must be struck by their graphic and elaborate diagnoses of the diverse ailments from which the poet suffered. Neil Vickers's innovation in Coleridge and the Doctors is to read such passages as medical texts in their own right, informed by Coleridge's intense engagement with philosophical medicine between 1800 and 1808. Vickers revisits Coleridge's accounts of volcanic activity in his bowels and of his attempt to manage his neuralgic pains by running around the house naked (p. 68) with a seriousness that Coleridge would appreciate: he diligently recovers the theoretical assumptions behind these and many other case histories, often reuniting the largely symptomatic accounts of the letters with contemporaneous, more philosophical passages from Coleridge's notebooks. * Noah Heringman, Studies in English Literature *Vickers's scrupulous reading of the medical theory ...illuminates the professional imperatives behind the increasingly scientific and philosophical tendencies of medicine and also establishes the role of Brunonian medicine in directing Coleridge's attention to German Idealism. Vickers's analysis successfully balances recent accounts of Coleridge as a "secret materialist" with an emphasis on the "mentalist" influence of Beddoes beginning in 1803. Beddoes, too, alerted Coleridge to the possibility that a patient's journal could function as both case history and therapy, an insight that dovetails nicely with Caldwell's account of medical narrative. * Noah Heringman, Studies in English Literature *Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION; CONCLUSION

Taylor & Francis Literature and Culture of the Chicago Renaissance
Book SynopsisThe Chicago Renaissance has long been considered a less important literary movement than the Harlem Renaissance. While the Harlem Renaissance began and flourished during the 1920s, but faded during the 1930s, the Chicago Renaissance originated between 1890 and 1910, gathered momentum in the 1930s, and paved the way for the postmodern and postcolonial developments in American Literature. To portray Chicago as a modern, spacious, cosmopolitan city, the writers of the Chicago Renaissance developed a new style of writing based on a distinct cultural aesthetic that reflected ethnically diverse sentiments and aspirations. Whereas the Harlem Renaissance was dominated by African American writers, the Chicago Renaissance originated from the interactions between African and European American writers. Much like modern jazz, writings in the movement became a hybrid, cross-cultural product of black and white Americans. The second period of the movement developed at two stages. In the first stage, the older generation of African American writers continued to deal with racial issues. In the second stage, African American writers sought solutions to racism by comparing American culture with other cultures. The younger generation of African American writers, such as Ishmael Reed, Charles Johnson, and Colson Whitehead, followed their predecessors and explored Confucianism, Buddhist Ontology, and Zen.This volume features essays by both veteran African Americanists and upcoming young critics. It is highlighted by essays from scholars located around the globe, such as Toru Kiuchi of Japan, Yupei Zhou of China, Mamoun Alzoubi of Jordan, and Babacar M'Baye of Senegal. It will be invaluable reading for students of Americanists at all levels.Trade Review"This collection of essays on the Chicago Renaissance has something for just about everybody; it extends the scope of the literary and cultural period from Theodore Dreiser and Richard Wright all the way to Colson Whitehead and Barack Obama."
