Examines autobiographical, scientific, critical, and fictional "thick narratives" to piece together "a portion of the history of objectivity." Introduction discusses Paul Ricoeur's claim that there is no identity without narrative. Each writer draws from scientific and/or aesthetic discourse about objectivity while endorsing a state of subjectivity that coincides with object recognition. Discusses importance of sympathy for Mary Shelley, wonder for Charles Darwin, prosopopoeia for John Ruskin, and conflictual engagement for Charlotte Brontë.

Shelley as a travel writer drawing on historiographical and aesthetic discourses (e.g. manners and national character, Rousseauistic primitivism, the sublime, the beautiful, and the picturesque) embedded in travel literature on Europe of the French revolutionary and post-revolutionary period. Shelley "privileges the traveler-poet's imagination as the site of cultural appropriation of and resistance to self and social disintegration." In Alastor, Shelley counters Wordsworth's view of England's moral self-sufficiency with a syncretic travelogue that privileges the poet-traveler as "citizen of the world," accredited by a picturesque sensibility.

The ethical posture of sympathy both impedes and promotes social intercourse, by threatening to turn men into doubles of each other. Because male characters need women to resolve homoerotic tension and to bolster their masculinity, these texts highlight a crucial but ultimately oppressed role to which women have been relegated in the social order. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein links self aspiration to distinguish the self from others to male homophobia.

Discusses Carl Linnaeus' fertilization of the first artificial hybrid. Contends that Erasmus Darwin expanded the implications of Linnaean botany in his own theory of evolution. Male desire was to guarantee progress in both nature and the Industrial Revolution. "Freudian critics have read Frankenstein's technical reproduction as a symptom of sexual repression of womb envy, but I argue that it is an expression of an asexual desire to reproduce we share with him."

Discusses idea of progress in Blake's Jerusalem, Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," Wordsworth's The Prelude, and Shelley's Prometheus Unbound.
