Romanticism was always culturally diverse. Though English-language
anthologies have previously tended to see Romanticism as predominantly
British, the term itself actually originated in Germany, where it
became the banner of a Europe-wide movement involving the profound
intellectual and aesthetic changes which we now associate with
modernity. This anthology is the first to place British Romanticism
within a comprehensive and multi-lingual European context, showing how
ideas and writers interconnected across national and linguistic
boundaries. By reprinting everything in the original languages,
together with an English translation of all non-English material in
parallel on the opposite page, it offers a new intellectual map of
Romanticism. Material is thematically arranged as follows: - Art &
Aesthetics - The Self - History - Language - Hermeneutics & Theology -
Nature - The Exotic - Science While focusing on European texts, the
inclusion of essays on their North American and Japanese reception
means that Romanticism can be seen as a global phenomenon, influencing
a surprising number of the ways in which the modern world sees itself.
