Asia-Pacific and Literature in English British Romanticism in Asia Gebunden

This book examines the reception of British Romanticism in India and East Asia (including China Japan Korea and Taiwan). Building on recent scholarship on ¿Global Romanticism¿ it develops a reciprocal cross-cultural model of scholarship in which ¿Asian Romanticism¿ is recognized as itself an important part of the Romantic literary tradition. It explores the connections between canonical British Romantic authors (including Austen Blake Byron Shelley and Wordsworth) and prominent Asian writers (including Natsume S¿seki Rabindranath Tagore and Xu Zhimo). The essays also challenge Euroc entric assumptions about reception and periodization exploring how since the early nineteenth century British Romanticism has been creatively adapted and transformed by Asian writers.
