Opis

A study of the tradition in nineteenth-century thought that imagines the body as one of the reproductive media of poetry.

Recenzje

'Miller's book is consistently insightful, imaginative, and well written, brimming with virtuosic readings that range across a wide variety of texts and disciplines … A valuable contribution to nineteenth-century scholarship, it brilliantly recalibrates the connections not only among literary texts, somatic experience, and emerging technology, but also among writers, readers, and critics.' Veronica Alfano, Victorian Studies
