{"id":76,"name":"Sharon Ruston","url":"","description":"My main research interests are in the relations between the literature, science and medicine of the Romantic period, 1780-1820. My first book, Shelley and Vitality (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005), explored the medical and scientific contexts which inform Shelley's concept of vitality in his major poetry. Since then, I have been working on Mary Wollstonecraft's interest in natural history, William Godwin's interest in mesmerism, and Humphry Davy's writings on the sublime; these form chapters in my most recent book, Creating Romanticism: Case Studies in the Literature, Science, and Medicine of the 1790s (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). I am currently co-editing the Collected Letters of Sir Humphry Davy and his Circle (www.davy-letters.org.uk).","link":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/sharon-ruston\/author\/ruston\/","slug":"ruston","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9c162c6d8a3b4da6dd31bfb819cc15f5cbd76bfa1716d8d3b78ff3ec321bd4df?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9c162c6d8a3b4da6dd31bfb819cc15f5cbd76bfa1716d8d3b78ff3ec321bd4df?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9c162c6d8a3b4da6dd31bfb819cc15f5cbd76bfa1716d8d3b78ff3ec321bd4df?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/sharon-ruston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/sharon-ruston\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
