- W2485078054 abstract "A contrasting example to Godwin’s philosophical biography is the one that attracted Coleridge’s praise for being a ‘masterly specimen’ of the genre: Dr James Currie’s Account of the life of Robert Burns published in 1800. Burns and Wollstonecraft were both born in 1759. Burns died in 1796 at the age of 37, Wollstonecraft a year later at 38. Although there is much that separates the two biographical subjects — a popular Scottish male poet as opposed to a controversial English female philosopher — their short lives were both overshadowed by melancholic suffering and their posthumous reputations attracted intense controversy. Currie, like Godwin, focused on Burns’s melancholy as evidence of an exceptional sensibility, but his conclusions about sensibility and melancholy are considerably more complex than Godwin’s. Godwin’s attitude to Wollstonecraft’s melancholy was ambivalent, as we have seen, but in ways which correspond to the division between ‘black’ and ‘white’ melancholy — the one a destructive psychology, the other a capacity of creating an ennobling mental state. In the Memoirs Godwin had come down on the side of melancholy sensibility as psychological temperament that could result in exceptional transformation.KeywordsLiterary SocietyYoung FriendCommonplace BookEdinburgh ReviewBiographical SubjectThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
