Romanticism, History, Historicism

This edited collection reflects on the continuing influence of New Historicism in Romantic Studies. Its eleven essays approach Romantic New Historicism – past, present and future – from a variety of angles in order to assess its vital contribution to our understanding, and revisioning, of the period c.1770–1830.

The "(re)turn to history" in Romantic Studies in the 1980s marked the beginning of a critical orthodoxy that continues to condition, if not define, our sense of the Romantic period twenty-five years on. Romantic New Historicisms revisionary engagements have played a central role in the realignment of the field and in the expansion of the Romantic canon. In this major new collection of eleven essays, critics reflect on New Historicisms inheritance, its achievements and its limitations. Integrating a self-reflexive engagement with New Historicisms "history" and detailed attention to a range of Romantic lives and literary texts, the collection offers a close-up view of Romanticisms hybrid present, and a dynamic vision of its future.
