The Romantic poets intense yearning to share thoughts and feelings often finds expression in a style that thwarts a connection with readers. Yohei Igarashi addresses this paradox by reimagining Romantic poetry as a response to the beginnings of the information age. Data collection, rampant connectivity, and efficient communication became powerful social norms during this period. The Connected Condition argues that poets responded to these developments by probing the underlying fantasy: the perfect transfer of thoughts, feelings, and information, along with media that might make such communication possible.This book radically reframes major poets and canonical poems. Igarashi considers Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a stenographer, William Wordsworth as a bureaucrat, Percy Shelley amid social networks, and John Keats in relation to telegraphy, revealing a shared attraction and skepticism toward the dream of communication. Bringing to bear a singular combination of media studies, the history of communication, sociology, rhetoric, and literary history, The Connected Condition proposes new accounts of literary difficulty and Romanticism. Above all, this book shows that the Romantic poets have much to teach us about living with the connected condition and the fortunes of literature in it.

I picked up this book for my literature class, and it really opens up new perspectives on romanticism and communication. The insights are profound, and it’s fascinating to see how technology shapes our understanding of these themes. Would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the topic!

Not What I Expected, But Still Good
I bought this book thinking it would be more focused on communication methods, but it dives deep into the philosophy behind romanticism. It took me a while to adjust my expectations. Good read if that's what you're into, just not my usual style.
