A Breath of Fresh Air: Joseph Priestley's Influence on Poets of the Romantic Era

By Jeremy T. Marousis-Bush

This book traces the outline of Romanticism around Joseph Priestley, his experiments, and associated literary criticism. This book seeks to prove that the poets of the Romantic era were profoundly affected by Joseph Priestley's scientific experiments on the nature of common air gases, specifically oxygen, and that his landmark publication of Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air caused them to reconsider the air and natural world around them.
