Summary

This study addresses the intersection of literature and visual culture in examining the place of vision (the visible, the invisible, the imaginary) in Romanticism. It explores literary engagements with the expanding visual field, arguing that the popular culture of Regency Britain reflected not just emergent and highly capitalized forms of mass entertainment, but also a lively interest in the aesthetic and conceptual dimensions of looking. Moreover, what is commonly thought to be the Romantic resistance to the visible reveals a generative fascination with the visual and its conceptual as well as sensory ,even spectacular, possibilities. This study examines a broad selection of instances ' from Daguerre's Diorama, to the staging of Coleridge's play Remorse , to the figure of the Medusa in Shelley's poetry and at the Phantasmagoria.
