Book description
This wide-ranging new history of European Romantic Literature presents a pan-European phenomenon which transcended national borders and contributed to a new sense of European cultural identity across the continent. Conceived in the same spirit as Madame de Staël's cultural and political agenda at a time when her 'generous idea' of Europe is being challenged on all sides, the volume pays close attention to the period's circulation of people, ideas, and texts. It proposes to rethink the period comparatively, focusing on various forms of cultural mediation and transfer, and on productive tensions, synchronicities, and interactions within and across borders. Organized chronologically, its twenty chapters address over five hundred works, proposing a coherent historical narrative without completely erasing individual nations' specificities. By showcasing in particular the place of Britain within continental culture, the volume hopes to reactivate critical examinations of Romanticism from a historicised European perspective.
Reviews
‘A rich introduction to European Romanticism, this book will be useful to both novices and experts in the field … Highly recommended.’
D. D. Schierenbeck Source: CHOICE
‘There is so much to be learnt from the past, if we can and will. This wrist-breaker of a tome is one big invitation. Step right in. I give it a five-star recommendation.’
Christoph Bode Source: European Romantic Review
