Studies of British Romanticism have traditionally tended to
envisage it as an intensely local, indeed insular, phenomenon. Yet,
just as the seemingly isolated British Isles became more and more
central in international geo-political and economic contexts
between the 1780s and the 1830s, so too literature and culture were
characterized by an increasingly close and relevant dialogue with
foreign and especially Continental European traditions, both past
and contemporary. Diego Saglia casts new light on the significantly
transformative impact of this dialogue on Britain during the years
that saw a return to unimpeded cross-border cultural traffic after
the end of the Napoleonic emergency. Focusing on modes of
translation and appropriation in a variety of literary and cultural
forms, this book reconsiders the notion of the supposed intrinsic
insularity of Britain through the lens of new key questions about
the national, international and transnational features of
Romantic-period literature and culture.
