The Oxford Handbook of European Romanticism focuses on the period
beginning with the French Revolution and extending to the uprisings
of 1848 across Europe. It brings together leading scholars in the
field to examine the intellectual, literary, philosophical, and
political elements of European Romanticism. The volume 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. Then follows a second
section based on the naturally inter-disciplinary quality of
Romanticism, encapsulated 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 understanding, and the Enlightenment
encyclopaedic project. Discourses typically push their individual
claims to resume European culture, collaborating and trying to
assimilate each other in the process. The main examples featuring
here are history, geography, drama, theology, language, geography,
philosophy, political theory, the sciences, and the media. Each
chapter offers original and individual interpretation of individual
aspects 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 unique
overview of European Romanticism.
