I thought I'd give you some faces to match with the Victorian dream theorists we're reading for next week.
Robert Macnish (1802 -1837)
Macnish was a Scottish physician--as well as philosopher and poet. He published pretty widely in popular periodicals before his death at 35 (of typhus).
Henry Holland (1788 - 1873)
Sir Henry Holland was a physician, but he also wrote travel literature.
George Henry Lewes (1817 - 1878)
Lewes is well-known for having been the unmarried lover / partner of novelist George Eliot. He was also a philosopher in his own right (and something of a radicial). His two most influential publications were probably A Biographical History of Philosophy and Life of Goethe (a biogrpahy).
Lewes reviewed Jane Eyre, for Fraser's Magazine, in 1847, very positively. He wrote of Bronte, "Almost all that we require in a novelist, she ahs: perception of character, power of delineating it; picturesqueness; passion; and knowledge of life. The story is not only of singular interest, naturally evolved, unflagging to the last, but it fastens itself up on your attention, and will not leave you. The book is closed, the enchantment contintues." The review is included in the Norton edition we're using, if you want to read more.
Francis Power Cobbe (1822 - 1904)
Cobbe was a nineteenth-century feminist thinker who argued for both women's suffrage and women's economic independence. She also published widely on religion, morality, and a host of social issues.
James Sully (1842 - 1923)
Sully was a psychologist, with a strong focus on evolutionary psychology. George Henry Lewes, George Eliot, and Robert Louis Stevenson were among his admirers. In fact, Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (purported to have originated in a dream!) was strongly influenced by some Sully's work on "double consciousness." (I couldn't find an image of Sully, so I'm including a link to his book Illusions instead.)
One last thing: Here's a link to a pretty good site on Victorian phrenology, published by the British library. Phrenology--a science rooted in the belief that the skull was an "index" of the brain (and ultimately psychology and character)--is fairly central to the plot of Jane Eyre.
