Sinopse

The '(re)turn to history' in Romantic Studies in the 1980s marked the beginning of a critical orthodoxy that continues to condition, if not define, our sense of the Romantic period twenty-five years on. Romantic New HistoricismâÇÖs revisionary engagements have played a central role in the realignment of the field and in the expansion of the Romantic canon. In this major new collection of eleven essays,ácritics reflect on New HistoricismâÇÖs inheritance, its achievements and its limitations. Integrating a self-reflexive engagement with New HistoricismâÇÖs 'history' and detailed attention to a range of Romantic lives and literary texts, the collection offers a close-up view of RomanticismâÇÖs hybrid present, and a dynamic vision of its future.
