Book Synopsis

This book reexamines a wide range of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century poetry to discover its relationship to a broad cultural consensus on the nature and value of geology, rocks, and landforms.



Trade Review

A fascinating study of the rocks of Romanticism, the geology of German and British thinking that flowed out from the field work of early hammer-toting scientists into the libraries, the natural history museums, and the scientific 'cabinets' of Europe.... Noah Heringman has written an important work of literary criticism that does justice to the term 'interdisciplinary' by uniting literary scholarship with the wider sweep of scientific history.... It should be required reading for all professors and graduate students of Romanticism, in the widest sense of that word.
