Alone Together
Romanticism, Psychoanalysis, and the Interpretation of Silence
Chapter Five offers an account of the rich valences of silence in romantic lyric poetry. Focusing on the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, this chapter traces forms of intimacy in which demands for reciprocity are temporarily suspended and in which emotions that exceed the logic of mutuality limn a relation to the other that cannot be defined under the ethical or epistemological category of sympathy.
