{"product_id":"9780415888639","title":"Keats and Philosophy","description":"John Keats remains one of the most familiar and beloved of English poets, but has received surprisingly little critical attention in recent years. This study is a fresh contribution to Keats criticism and Romantic scholarship, positioning Keats as a figure of philosophical interest who warrants renewed attention. Exploring Keats’s own Romantic accounts of feeling and thinking, this study draws a connection between poetry and the phenomenological branches of modern philosophy. The study takes Keats’s poetic evocation of touching hands, wandering feet, beating hearts and breathing bodies as a descriptive elaboration of consciousness and a phenomenological account of experience. The philosophical terms of analysis adopted here challenge the orthodoxies of Keats scholarship, traditionally characterised by the careful historicisation of a limited canon. The philosophical framework of analysis enhances the readings put forward, while Keats’s poems, in turn, serve to give fuller expression of those ideas themselves. Using Keats as a particular case, this book also demonstrates the ways in which theory and philosophy supplement literary scholarship.","brand":"Shahidha Bari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45774428963134,"sku":"9780415888639","price":11122.08,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780415888639_ebaebc90-40b3-42d9-8a8e-0a2747e24305.jpg?v=1707254264","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780415888639","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
