Jocelyn Holland's research interests include Goethe and Romanticism, the instrument (or tool), and the philosophy of nature, with an emphasis on intersections between literature and the life sciences. Jocelyn Holland's areas of research span eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature with a particular interest in the history of the natural and life sciences around 1800. In addition to articles on Goethe, J. W. Ritter and the German Romantics she has completed two book-length studies. The first, Romanticism and Science: the Procreative Poetics of Goethe, Novalis and Ritter considers the far-reaching discourse on procreation in Romantic poetics and will be published by Routledge. The second is a bilingual edition Ritter’s two-volume fragment project and two of his major essays (Physics as Art and the Attempt at a History of the Fates of Chemical Theory in the Past Centuries) designed to introduce Ritter’s work to an Anglophone audience and will be published by Brill. Future plans include an essay on the mathematical point in Romanticism as well as a longer study on the tool and instrumentality in literary texts.
