This volume in the Oxford Handbook series is on the subject of European Romanticism, an intellectual, literary, philosophical, and political movement usually described as taking place between 1789 and 1848. The book first examines texts written by major writers in different European languages: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, Greek, Polish, and Scandinavian. Chapters on these are written by leading scholars in the field. Then follows a second section elaborating the naturally interdisciplinary quality of Romanticism, encapsulated by the different discourses with which writers of the time set up an internal comparative dynamic. The chapters are written by specialists to highlight the sense a discourse gives of being written knowledgeably against other pretenders to completeness or comprehensiveness of understanding. Romantic variety of this kind is also typically written against the Enlightenment project of an Encyclopedia cast as a literal inventory rather than a conversation in which different views of the world figure each other. Discourses push their individual claims to resume European culture, collaborating and trying to assimilate each other in the process. The main examples here are history, geography, drama, theology, language, philosophy, political theory, the sciences, and the media. The chapters are original interpretations of aspects of an inherently interactive world of individual writers and the discursive idioms to which they are historically subject but which grant them unusual articulacy as well.

Das Fortleben der Romantik bis heute steht außer Frage – der vorliegende Band erkundet vor allem das Romantische als Praxis um 1800 und im 19. Jahrhundert. Anders als Ideen- und Sozialgeschichte es getan haben, sollte »Romantik« diachron diskursgeschichtlich und praxeologisch erforscht werden. Wahrnehmbar werden dann eine noch vorterminologische Praxis des Romantischen bereits im 18. Jahrhundert, sodann aber ein »Nachleben« im 19. Jahrhundert, das Praktiken des Romantischen tradiert, obgleich es nicht selten »die Romantik« als Anachronismus und ideologisches Ärgernis ablehnt – und schließlich auch Praxisbezüge, die von den so theoriefreudigen Romantikern um 1800 selbst schon ins Spiel gebracht werden. Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes steht die Diskussion von Fallstudien zu einer Rekonstruktion historischer Semantiken des Romantischen.

Radical Romantics' traces the myriad ways in which authors resist the imperative of colonial and imperial conceptions of space. In studying texts that range from William Blake's visionary poetry to prophetic pamphlets, from Lord Byron's Eastern romances to travel narratives about Jerusalem and Africa, this book explores moments where imaginative space and territorial space overlap in the service of radical geographies.
