Romantic Dialectics: Culture, Gender, Theater aims to emphasize the
importance of collaboration and exchange in the exploration of
neglected areas of Romanticism. The essays grouped in this volume,
moreover, are themselves inherently dialectical, being built on,
and shaped by, the underlying tension between competing and even at
times opposing literary, social and political elements. The three
sections of the volume include: Culture and international
relations; Aspects of female-oriented aesthetics; and Theatre and
drama of the Romantic period. These three topics well reflect the
diversified areas of the research and teaching of Professor Lilla
Maria Crisafulli, to whom this volume is dedicated. This collection
also eloquently illustrates how current research in Romanticism,
carried out by scholars from a number of different countries and
schools, is nevertheless united by a shared dialectical engagement
in generating and debating new approaches to this extremely rich
intellectual field.
This collection of essays brings together an international team of
scholars with the aim to shed new light on various interconnected
aspects of the Gothic through the lens of converging critical and
methodological approaches. With its wide-ranging interdisciplinary
perspective, the book explores the domains of literary, pictorial,
filmic, televisual and popular cultural texts in English from the
eighteenth century to the present day. Within these pages, the
Gothic is discussed as a dynamic form that exceeds the concept of
literary genre, proving able to renovate and adapt through constant
processes of hybridisation. Investigating the hypothesis that the
Gothic returns in times of cultural crisis, this study maps out
transgressive and experimental modes conducive to alternative
experiences of the intricacies of the human (and post-human)
condition.
