Last Post for the Semester

I’ll be uncharacteristically brief in my last post. This blog will only contain a simple question to ponder, and nothing more. Wuthering Heights, similar to other poems and prose we read, keenly represents this distinct Romantic creativity and imagination. Such creativity exemplifies experimental boldness, unrestrained spirituality, untrammeled vision, as well as liberation, idealism, originality, and spontaneity. Throughout the semester, I’ve continually asked myself: how would the Romantics have reacted and responded to recent neurobiological studies on human creativity, which describes creativity as merely a modulation of neurotransmitters in the frontal lobe and an interaction of the frontal lobes with the temporal lobes and dopamine from the limbic system. How would they transcend this materialism?
