Introduction:The Romantic Cultures of Infancy

A key issue which concerns us in this volume is not the extent to which late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century cultural texts conform to either a stadial (Enlightenment) or a genetic (Romantic) configurations of infancy, but rather the extent to which such texts tend to blur or even reject that kind of dichotomy. We also hope to continue and to extend scholarly understanding of the extent to which the cultural investment of infancy during the late eighteenth century and Romantic period crossed the boundaries not only of genres but also of what would today be considered distinct disciplines and areas of enquiry.
