Summary

Aware of new scientific information after the advent of polar exploration, Romantic figures in England and America--including Coleridge and Poe, Percy and Mary Shelley, Emerson and Thoreau--challenged traditional representations of ice as waste and celebrated crystals, glaciers, and the poles as revelations of life as well as models of poetic composition. The Spiritual History of Ice explores this ecology of ice in fascinating detail, revealing not only a neglected context of the Romantic age but also the esoteric history and psychology of frozen phenomena.

Author Biography

ERIC G. WILSON is Thomas H. Pritchard Professor of English at Wake Forest University. He is author of Against Happiness, Romantic Turbulence and Emerson's Sublime Science, among others.
