The Poetic Enlightenment: Poetry and Human Science, 1650û1820 (The Enlightenment World)

The essays in this edited collection look at the role of poetry in the development of Enlightenment ideas. As scholarly disciplines began to emerge - anthropology, linguistics, psychology - the ancient art of poetry was invoked to create new ways of defining and expanding this philosophy of human science.
