MACMILLAN Commemorating Writers in Nineteenth-Century Europe: Nation-Building and Centenary Fever

Product Description This volume offers detailed accounts of the cults of individual writers and a comparative perspective on the spread of centenary fever across Europe. It offers a fascinating insight into the interaction between literature and cultural memory, and the entanglement between local, national and European identities at the highpoint of nation-building. Review “This substantial collection … brings together fifteen case studies of literary commemoration to produce the first comparative study of literary centenaries during the time of the ‘centenary fever’ in 19th century Europe. … Bringing together a great deal of recent research and opening up lines for further inquiry, Commemorating Writers in Nineteenth-Century Europe is, in every sense, a productive volume.” (Ina Ferris, Arcadia, Vol. 50 (2), 2015) About the Author Pierre Boudrot, University Paris-I Panthéon-Sorbonne, France Clara Calvo, University of Murcia, Spain Marijan Dovi?, University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia Harald Hendrix, Utrecht University, Netherlands Ronan Kelly, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland Joep Leerssen, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands Paulo de Medeiros, University of Warwick, UK John Neubauer, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands An de Ridder, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands Ann Rigney, Utrecht University, Netherlands Neil Stewart, University of Bonn, Germany Mahnaz Yousefzadeh, New York University, USA Francesca Zantedeschi, European University Institute, Italy
