Описание: Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge and Keats were deeply interested in how perception and sensory experience operate. Noel Jackson tracks this preoccupation through the Romantic period and beyond, both in relation to late eighteenth-century human sciences, and in the context of momentous social transformations in the period of the French Revolution.
Описание: Even in a genre well known for generating controversy, some true-crime and scandal books have wielded a particular power. This work delves into that hard copy era when crime and scandal books had a cultural impact beyond the genre`s film and TV documentaries, fueling outcries that sometimes matched the notoriety of the cases they discussed.
