Certain works of Romantic drama--- Prometheus Unbound, Cain, The Cenci-- have received a good deal of critical attention, by as a whole the genre has been misunderstood and only slightly considered. Alan Richardson redresses a tradition of critical neglect by considering the works of Romantic drama not as failed stage-plays ("closet drama") but as constituting a new, distinctively Romantic genre. In turning from the contemporary stage--which was marked by spectacle, rant, and melodrama--the Romantic poets developed an altogether new kind of drama, one which they hoped could recapture the intensity of Shakespearean tragedy that Neoclassical writers had scarcely approached.Richardson class this genre (after Byron) "mental theater," both because its works are concerned with portraying the development of self-consciousness and because it fuses the subjectivity of lyric with the interaction of dramatic poetry. Moreover, these works are addressed directly to the mind of the reader, bypassing the medium of stage representation. This study places Romantic self-consciousness in a fundamentally new light. Far from uncritically pursuing an egoistic stance, the Romantics criticize through their poetic drama the attempt to attain psychic autonomy. The protagonists of Romantic drama are seduced by their antagonists into entering such a condition only to find in it a hollow, deathly isolation. They find in self-consciousness not their promised liberation, but a tormented fate modeled after that of their betrayers. Wordsworth, Byron, and Shelley delineate the limitations of "Romantic" self-consciousness in their works of mental theater; Shelley alone envisions their transcendence through his radical transformation of consciousness in the conclusion to Prometheus Unbound.This interpretation of mental theater will lead to a new evaluation of the Romantics as dramatic poets. It brings back to critical attention neglected but challenging works such as Byron's Heaven and Earth and Bedd

...providing a clearly written discussion of the published literature plus an account of previously unpublished research by the author and his collaborators... For psychometricians concerned with the measurement of individual differences in thought imagery, evidence is presented in support of three relatively independent dimensions. For developmental psychologists a basis is provided from which a more detailed investigation of imagery differences and their origins can be undertaken. Psychophysiologists will find the power of thought imagery to influence physiological processes is convincingly demonstrated. For cognitive psychologists the necessity of incorporating consciously imaged events into their current theories can no longer be ignored; imagery is not merely a byproduct of other cognitive processes but an influential variable in its own right. Social psychologists will find a whole new field has opened up in which differences in imaging can be shown to affect many of the processes in which they are interested. Finally, for practitioners who would like to be assured that a firm theoretical and empirical foundation exists for the use of imagery procedures the existing evidence is encouraging. Overall, this book contains innumerable suggestions for further research and how it can be conducted. Individual Differences in Imaging is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in the nature and functions of mental imagery.
