Wild Romanticism consolidates contemporary thinking about
conceptions of the wild in British and European Romanticism,
clarifying the emergence of wilderness as a cultural, symbolic, and
ecological idea. This volume brings together the work of twelve
scholars, who examine representations of wildness in canonical
texts such as Frankenstein, Northanger Abbey, "Kubla Khan,"
"Expostulation and Reply," and Childe Harolds Pilgrimage, as well
as lesser-known works by Radcliffe, Clare, Hoelderlin, P.B.
Shelley, and Hogg. Celebrating the wild provided Romantic-period
authors with a way of thinking about nature that resists
instrumentalization and anthropocentricism, but writing about
wilderness also engaged them in debates about the sublime and
picturesque as aesthetic categories, about gender and the
cultivation of independence as natural, and about the ability of
natural forces to resist categorical or literal enclosure. This
book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
Romanticism, environmental literature, environmental history, and
the environmental humanities more broadly.
