| While scholars of romanticism have often situated the works of Letitia Elizabeth Landon in sentimental terms, little attention has been paid to Landon's interest in physiological modes of feeling and their intersections with Romantic theories of “world”. This essay examines this interrelationship and its politics as figured in Landon's long poem The Golden Violet (1827). In this poem, Landon recounts the performances of poets from around the globe and, in doing so, juxtaposes two modes of world organization: one that unfolds through the boundaries of nation and another whose emphasis upon embodied feeling complicates those boundaries. Exploring how the physiological sensations of poetry forge interconnections between heterogeneous persons and spaces, Landon's The Golden Violet re-imagines the globe as a feeling community whose transnational and trans-historical configuration affords alternative organizational possibilities to a fractured landscape of nations. In this context, Romantic poetry emerges as the engine through which such a phenomenological reorganization of the world might transpire. Ultimately, the Letitia Elizabeth Landon who emerges in this essay is one who provokes a reconsideration of the works of Romantic women writers and their cosmopolitical projects. | |
