Delving into the literary history of the aesthetics of motion from 1650 to 1810, this important study makes the case for wantonness as an aesthetic category in itself, one that captures quasi-intentional actions and forms of agency across multiple genres and fields including art history, aesthetic philosophy, and abolition debates.
