				<!-- Long volume abstract goes here -->
				<p rend="noCount">Capitalizing on the conjunction of renewed scholarly interest in
					Thelwall and new archival finds, this collection of essays addresses the central
					question of the coherence and continuity of Thelwall’s diverse
					pursuits&#8212;literary, political, scientific, therapeutic, elocutionary, and
					journalistic&#8212;across the four decades of his career (c. 1790-1830), and
					provides new insight into Thelwall’s eclipse and persistence in the nineteenth
					century.</p>

					<head>About the Romantic Circles Praxis Series</head>

					<p rend="noCount">The <title level="j">Romantic Circles Praxis Series</title> is
						devoted to using computer technologies for the contemporary critical
						investigation of the languages, cultures, histories, and theories of
						Romanticism. Tracking the circulation of Romanticism within these
						interrelated domains of knowledge, <title level="j">RCPS</title> recognizes
						as its conceptual terrain a world where Romanticism has, on the one hand,
						dissolved as a period and an idea into a plurality of discourses and, on the
						other, retained a vigorous, recognizable hold on the intellectual and
						theoretical discussions of today. <title level="j">RCPS</title> is committed
						to mapping out this terrain with the best and most exciting critical writing
						of contemporary Romanticist scholarship.</p>
