The instinctive behaviour of crowds is still a mysterious phenomenon. Mary Fairclough discovers that in the Romantic period, writers explained this strange phenomenon using an emotional and medical term, sympathy. Her readings of Hazlitt, De Quincey, Wollstonecraft and others reveal their interest in contemporary political, medical and philosophical discourse.
