Romantic Dynamics

The Poetics of Physicality

Author Mark Lussier

"Romantic Dynamics" creatively confronts Romantic poetry with a wide range of exotic concepts associated with the "new physics" of relativity and quantum to uncover their shared concerns for indeterminacy, uncertainty, relativity and complexity in a chaotic universe. This interdisciplinary work traces the elaboration of dynamical models of cosmos and consciousness in works by Blake, Byron, Coleridge, the Shelleys and Wordsworth, finding in those works an exploration of the interpenetration of psyche and phenomena.
