The Imagination as a Means of Grace: Locke and the Aesthetics of Romanticism

by Ernest Lee Tuveson

""The Imagination As A Means Of Grace: Locke And The Aesthetics Of Romanticism"" is a book written by Ernest Lee Tuveson that explores the relationship between the imagination and the concept of grace in the Romantic era. The book focuses on the ideas of philosopher John Locke and how they influenced the aesthetics of Romanticism. Tuveson argues that the imagination was seen as a means of accessing divine grace during this time period, and that Locke's ideas about the mind and perception played a significant role in shaping this view. The book examines the works of Romantic poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Shelley, as well as the philosophical and theological debates of the time. Through a detailed analysis of these sources, Tuveson offers a unique perspective on the role of the imagination in the Romantic era, and its connection to the concept of grace. Overall, ""The Imagination As A Means Of Grace"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a fascinating period in literary and philosophical history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
