This volume offers a series
of essays in which contributors meditate on how the
concept of education intersects with sublime theory
and Romantic aesthetics more generally. Broadly
speaking, this volume produces a set of revisionary
readings rooted in the critical philosophy of
Immanuel Kant and its place in our ongoing
understanding of Romantic aesthetics and sublime
theory. An underlying inspiration of this volume is
the pedagogical theory of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak,
who has thought widely about humanities-based
training using Romantic-era texts as principal
theoretical and literary tools, formative among them
the aesthetic philosophy of Kant. This volume is
edited and introduced by J. Jennifer
Jones, with essays by Christopher
Braider, Frances
Ferguson, Paul
Hamilton, Anne C.
McCarthy, Forest Pyle,
Deborah
Elise White, and an afterword by Ian
Balfour.
