"Rogers has woven a brilliant account of how Romantic obsession and resultant madness are not merely psychological phenomena, which, given the breadth of the scholarship here, would represent a misreading of the period, but embodied, pathologized, medicalized events. ... She has opened up new seams of inquiry, notably in texts she does not even mention in her book ... these and other texts should be re-examined in light of Rogers's work." (Jeffrey Cass, European Romantic Review, January 27, 2022)
