505 0 Introduction: "sweet science" -- Blake's mundane egg:
epigenesis and milieux -- Equivocal life: Goethe's
journals on morphology -- Tender semiosis: reading Goethe
with Lucretius and Paul de Man -- Growing old together:
Lucretian materialism in Shelley's The triumph of life --
A natural history of violence: allegory and atomism in
Shelley's The mask of anarchy -- Coda: old materialism, or
romantic Marx.
520 8 Today we do not expect poems to carry scientifically valid
information. But it was not always so. In 'Sweet Science',
Amanda Jo Goldstein returns to the beginnings of the
division of labor between literature and science to
recover a tradition of Romantic life writing for which
poetry was a privileged technique of empirical inquiry.
Goldstein puts apparently literary projects, such as
William Blake's poetry of embryogenesis, Goethe's journals
'On Morphology', and Percy Shelley's "poetry of life,"
back into conversation with the openly poetic life
sciences of Erasmus Darwin, J.G. Herder, Jean-Baptiste
Lamarck, and Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Such poetic
sciences, Goldstein argues, share in reviving Lucretius's
'De rerum natura' to advance a view of biological life as
neither self-organized nor autonomous, but rather
dependent on the collaborative and symbolic processes that
give it viable and recognizable form. They summon 'De
rerum natura' for a logic of life resistant to the
vitalist stress on self-authorizing power and to make a
monumental case for poetry's role in the perception and
communication of empirical realities. The first dedicated
study of this mortal and materialist dimension of Romantic
biopoetics, 'Sweet Science' opens a through-line between
Enlightenment materialisms of nature and Marx's coming
historical materialism
