TThe Oxford Handbook to European Romanticism brings together
leading scholars in the field to examine the intellectual,
literary, philosophical, and political elements of European
Romanticism. The book focuses on the cultural history of the period
extending from the French Revolution to the uprisings of 1848. It
begins with a series of chapters examining key texts written by
major writers in languages including: French; German; Italian;
Spanish; Russian; Hungarian; Greek; and Polish amongst others. A
second section then explores the naturally inter-disciplinary
quality of Romanticism, exemplified by the different discourses
with which writers of the time set up an internal, comparative
dynamic. These chapters highlight the sense a discourse gives of
being written knowledgeably against other pretenders to
completeness or comprehensiveness of self-understanding of the
time. Discourses typically advance their own claims to resume
European culture, collaborating with and at the same time trying to
assimilate each other in the process. The main examples featured
here are: history; geography; drama; theology; language;
philosophy; political theory; the sciences; and the media. Each
chapter offers an original and individual interpretation of an
inherently comparative world of individual writers and the
discursive idioms to which they are historically subject. Together
the forty-one chapters provide a comprehensive and provocative
overview of European Romanticism.
