EROS AND VISION: The Restoration to Romanticism

The Restoration to Romanticism explores the period from the Restoration (1660) to the death of William Blake (1827), focusing on the quest for integrity in literature and culture during this time. It examines the "vital, ego-related energies" of key authors like Dryden, Swift, Pope, Johnson, Blake, Gray, Radcliffe, Byron, Shelley, Goethe, and Rousseau. The book aims to place both philosophy and art within a historical and aesthetic context. The contributors to the volume, all narrative scholars themselves, write about the creative and challenging pedagogical activities that they use in order to enable others to learn about and do narrative research. The volume will be of particular interest to those teaching narrative research methodologies at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in the social sciences, medical sciences and the humanities. The contributions from Hong Kong, Israel, Europe and North America, all reflect critically on the rich complexities of using and teaching narrative in those contexts and attend closely to the diverse constituencies of their learning communities.
