摘要

描述晚期浪漫主义的一种方式是观察浪漫主义是如何结束的。在这里,我研究了19世纪30年代末发生的一系列认识论突破,这些突破涉及计算机、共产主义和气候变化。作为发生在我们身上但没有发生在浪漫主义者身上的三件事,这些可以被认为是我们定义后浪漫主义的决定性标志。我展示了大气浪漫主义的思想、比喻和人物是如何在这三种情况下被重新利用和转变的,以激发截然不同的思潮。有了查尔斯·巴贝奇,气氛成为道德神学的计算平台;与马克思一起,它成为社会革命的认识论材料;在约翰·罗斯金的帮助下,它成为了科学自知之明的全球基础设施。在每一种情况下,这种突破都矛盾地涉及到浪漫主义原则的形式化:对氛围的描述也是自我描述。

Atmospheric Late Romanticism: Babbage, Marx, Ruskin
One way of describing late Romanticism involves looking at how Romanticism ended. Here, I examine a cluster of epistemological breaks that occurred at the end of the 1830s, and which concerned computers, communism and climate change. As three things that have happened to us but not to the Romantics, these can be recognised as determinate indications of our defining post-Romanticism. I show how ideas, tropes and figures of atmospheric Romanticism were repurposed and transformed in each of these three cases to inspire radically different currents of thought. With Charles Babbage, atmosphere became a computational platform for moral theology; with Karl Marx, it became an epistemological material of social revolution; and with John Ruskin, it became a global infrastructure of scientific self-knowledge. In each case, the break paradoxically involved a formalisation of a Romantic principle: that a description of an atmosphere is also a self-description.

期刊介绍: The most distinguished scholarly journal of its kind edited and published in Britain, Romanticism offers a forum for the flourishing diversity of Romantic studies today. Focusing on the period 1750-1850, it publishes critical, historical, textual and bibliographical essays prepared to the highest scholarly standards, reflecting the full range of current methodological and theoretical debate. With an extensive reviews section, Romanticism constitutes a vital international arena for scholarly debate in this liveliest field of literary studies.
