Routledge Romantic Legacies: Transnational and Transdisciplinary Contexts (Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature)

Product Description Romantic Legacies: Transnational and Transdisciplinary Contexts presents the most wide-ranging treatment of Romantic regenerations, covering the cross-pollination between the arts or between art and thought within or across the borders of Germany, Britain, France, the US, Russia, India, China, and Japan. Each chapter in the volume examines a legacy or afterlife in a comparative context to demonstrate ongoing Romantic legacies as fully as possible in their complexity and richness. The volume provides readers a lens through which to understand Romanticism not merely as an artistic heritage but as a dynamic site of intellectual engagement that crosses nations and time periods and entails no less than the shaping of our global cultural currents. Review Romantic Legacies is an important contribution to our expanded understanding of the legacies of romanticism. The essays in this collection range widely across geography, chronology and artistic form to explore the ongoing resonances of the romantic impulse across cultures.
