Why are material objects so prominent in European Romantic
literature, both as symbol and organizing device? This collection
of essays maintains that European Romantic culture and its
aesthetic artifacts were fundamentally shaped by "object
aesthetics," an artistic idiom of acknowledging, through a profound
and often disruptive use of objects, the movement of Western
aesthetic practice into Romantic self-projection and imagination.
Of course Romanticism, in all its dissonance and anxiety, is marked
by a number of new artistic practices, all of which make up a new
aesthetics, accounting for the dialectical and symbolistic view of
literature that began in the late eighteenth century. "Romanticism
and the Object" adds to our understanding of that aesthetics by
reexamining a wide range of texts in order to discover how the use
of objects works in the literature of the time.
