This will be a roundtable conversation with the five editors of the book series Literature and Philosophy in Nineteenth-Century British Culture, which was recently published in three volumes by Routledge. The collection seeks to paint a new picture of the relationship between literature and philosophy over the “long” nineteenth century by placing side by side excerpts of literary works that engage with philosophy and excerpts from philosophical works that engage with literature, mixing well-known works with overlooked sources, and providing a copious critical apparatus and commentary to place them in context and analyse them. The first volume (covering the 1789-1832 period) was edited by Monika Class and Cian Duffy, the second (covering the 1832-1872 period) by Peter Garratt and Giles Whiteley, and the third (covering the 1872-1910 period) by Andrea Selleri. In this event we will reflect on what can be learned from this research.
