Rien faire comme une b̂ete : of anonymity and obligation -- Virtual ruin : disinterested agency in Hazlitt and Keats -- Fugitive letters : tracking the anonymous in Godwin's Caleb Williams -- Feeling for the future : the ends of sympathy -- The art of knowing nothing : feminine melancholy and skeptical dispossession -- What remains : Romanticism and the negative
