Beyond Romanticism: New Approaches to Texts and Contexts 1780-1832

Abstract

Beyond is a challenge to traditional views of as they have developed on both sides of Atlantic. It provides a sustained critique of ideology. The essays engage in debates central to development of literary studies. These debates have traditionally been under-represented in study of Romanticism, where claims of history have not had same status as in other periods, and where confidence in poetic literary value is still at its height. Beyond demystifies the by examining historical development of Romanticism and demonstrating how this very aesthetic construction asserted its independence. The essays also examine philosophical underpinnings of contemporary Romantic discourses, such as mesmerism, Hellenism, orientalism and nationalism. This book should be of interest to postgraduates, undergraduates and academics of English literature, particularly Romantic literature.
