This volume provides, for the first time, an extensive and
wide-ranging discussion of the relationship between Romanticism and
Roman antiquity. Encompassing literature, music, sculpture, film,
history, politics, and scholarship from across Europe and the US,
it assesses the influence ancient Roman culture has had upon
Romanticism, and the influence Romanticism has in turn had upon our
understanding of the ancient Romans.
Arranged in three sections - Romanticisms, Romantics, and Reception
- the 20 contributions in this volume assess various shared themes
and motifs, case studies from the Romantic Period, and the way in
which reception of Romanticism shaped and was shaped by the
reception of Roman antiquity. By highlighting the key role that the
Romans played in the creation and development of Romanticism, and
the role Romanticism has since played in conceptions of the Romans,
Romans and Romantics initiates not only a reassessment of the
relationship between its two protagonists, but develops a new
understanding of each of them individually.
Figures discussed within the volume include Byron, Emerson,
Foscolo, Goethe, Hardy, Hawthorne, Keats, Maggi, Mozart, Niebuhr,
Pastrone, Pater, Jean Paul, Poe, Pushkin, Mary and Percy Shelley,
the Schlegel brothers, Charlotte Smith, Madame de Stael, Thoreau,
Vosmaer, Wergeland, and Wordsworth."
