Reviews
“. . . this innovative volume opens the door in a new century to getting a critical purpose on and theorizing the richness and complexity of Romanticism in a variety of genres, modes, and registers, ranging across a spectrum from high to pop culture. The colorful rainbow that this set of essays represents refracts the white radiance of European Romanticism in a manner not quite dreamt of by students and scholars of that cultural and aesthetic phenomenon some half century ago, when the effort to define it comprehensively or definitively had reached a kind of plateau.” – Prof. Eugene Stelzig, SUNY at Geneseo
“. . . the breadth and spectrum of coverage of each essay are impressive. . . . a collection that will be useful for scholars, teachers, and students of Romanticism.” - Prof. Marjean D. Purinton, Texas Tech University
“. . . the essays are using scholarly techniques that will help us see beyond just one or two works. This is the kind of book that will be useful to scholars in the field because the essays are interesting to read and provocative to consider.” - Prof. Carl H. Sederholm, Brigham Young University
