"Eighteenth-Century Stoic Poetics: Shaftesbury, Akenside, and the Discipline of the
Imagination offers a fresh perspective on the eighteenth-century poetics of Lord Shaftesbury
and Mark Akenside. This book traces the two authors' debt to Roman Stoic spiritual
exercises and early modern conceptions of the care of the self, which informs their
view of the poetic imagination as a bundle of techniques designed to manage impressions,
cultivate right images in the mind and rectify judgement. Alexandra Bacalu traces
the roots of this articulation in early modern writings on the imagination, as well
as in Restoration and Augustan debates on wit, exploring the fruitful tension between
ideas of imaginative enthusiasm and imaginative regulation that it provokes"
