HANDBOOK OF BRITISH ROMANTICISM GEBUNDEN

The Handbook of British Romanticism is a state of the art investigation of Romantic literature
and theory  a field that probably changed more quickly and more fundamentally than any other
traditional era in literary studies. Since the early 1980s  Romantic studies has widened its
scope significantly: The canon has been expanded  hitherto ignored genres have been
investigated and new topics of research explored. After these profound changes  intensified by
the general crisis of literary theory since the turn of the millennium  traditional concepts
such as subjectivity  imagination and the creative genius have lost their status as paradigms
defining Romanticism. The handbook will feature discussions of key concepts such as history 
class  gender  science and the use of media as well as a thorough account of the most central
literary genres around the turn of the 19th century. The focus of the book  however  will lie
on a discussion of key literary texts in the light of the most recent theoretical developments.
Thus  the Handbook of British Romanticism will provide students with an introduction to
Romantic literature in general and literary scholars with a discussion of innovative and
groundbreaking theoretical developments.
