During the Romantic era, psychology and literature enjoyed a fluid relationship. Faubert focuses on a little-known group of psychologist-poets who grew out of the liberal literary-medical culture of the Scottish Enlightenment. They used poetry as an accessible form to communicate emerging psychological, cultural and moral ideas concepts which were echoed by so many canonical Romantic poets that we now think of them as distinct features of Romantic literature."
