Navigating the landscape of Romantic literature and art across Europe and the Americas, An Outline of Romanticism in the West invites readers to embark upon a literary journey. Showcasing a breadth of theoretical and contextual approaches to the study of Romanticism, John Isbell provides an insightful contemporary overview of the field, paired with wide-ranging comparative reflections on the art and literature that helped shape it. Discussing seminal Romantic texts such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or Germaine de Staël's Corinne ou l'Italie, Isbell provides a foundation through which to investigate core concepts, such as the continuum of Romance, the Romantic hero, and Romantic literature's characteristic repudiation of its own Romanticism. Unusually for a single-author monograph, the book includes both published and unpublished material covering Romantic creation across Europe and the two Americas. Identifying Romanticism as an international movement, Isbell seeks to emphasise a theme frequently ignored by many academics: the roots of Romanticism, and its variations, as a national art. His arguments are supported by extensive interrogations of the political and historical contexts that moulded the outlooks of the writers and artists central to the period. An Outline of Romanticism in the West underlines the interplay between nationalism, history, and artistic inspiration, and will therefore be of value to students and scholars of literature and history, as well as to general readers with an interest in Romanticism in the West.

Die transareal ausgelegte Vorlesung unternimmt den Versuch, nach der (vielleicht schon verlorenen) Einheit der Romantik hinter der Vielgestaltigkeit romantischer Diskurse zwischen zwei Welten, Europa und Amerika, zu fragen. Gab es eine Romantik oder gab es deren viele? Was zeichnet die Literaturen der Romantik in Frankreich und Deutschland, in Spanien und Italien, im Norden und vor allem im Süden des amerikanischen Doppelkontinents aus? Welche Schreibformen entwickelt eine Dichterin wie Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, die zwischen Spanien und Kuba pendelt; welche Vermittlungsmöglichkeiten sieht Germaine de Staël im deutsch-französischen Dialog; in welcher Beziehung steht die Dichtung Baudelaires zu den Schriften Poes; und was bestimmte die Rezeption deutscher Romantik in Mexiko? Die Vorlesung gibt den Blick darauf frei, in welchem Maße im Jahrhundert der Nationalismen inter- und transkulturelle Beziehungen zwischen Ländern und Kontinenten bestanden, und hinterfragt die Monologe nationalliterarischer Ausrichtung. This transareal lecture inquires into the (perhaps already lost) unity of Romanticism behind the polymorphism of the Romantic discourses that took place between two worlds, Europe and America. This lecture reveals the scope of cultural relations between countries and continents in the century of nationalisms and questions the monological focus on national literatures.

'Eternity is in love with the productions of time'. This original edited volume takes William Blake's aphorism as a basis to explore how British Romantic literature creates its own sense of time. It considers Romantic poetry as embedded in and reflecting on the march of time, regarding it not merely as a reaction to the course of events between the late-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, but also as a form of creative engagement with history in the making.

"An interdisciplinary examination of nineteenth-century French art pertaining to religion, exile, and the nation's demise as a world power, this study concerns the consequences for visual culture of a series of national crises - from the assault on Catholicism and the flight of émigrés during the Revolution of 1789, to the collapse of the Empire and the dashing of hope raised by the Revolution of 1830. The central claim is that imaginative response to these politically-charged experiences of loss constitutes a major shaping force in French Romantic art, and that pursuit of this theme in light of parallel developments in literature and political debate reveals a pattern of disenchantment transmuted into cultural capital. Focusing on imagery that spoke to loss through visual and verbal idioms particular to France in the aftermath of the Revolution and Empire, the book illuminates canonical works by major figures such as Eugène Delacroix, Théodore Chassériau, and Camille Corot, as well as long-forgotten images freighted with significance for nineteenth-century viewers. A study in national bereavement - an urgent theme in the present moment- the book provides a new lens through which to view the coincidence of imagination and strife at the heart of French Romanticism. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, French literature, French history, French politics, and religious studies"--

Non pas Baudelaire et la peinture, ni Baudelaire et le romantisme, mais Baudelaire, la peinture et le romantisme. Il s'agit de penser ce moment de 1850, où le romantisme fait retour sur lui-même et se trouve confronté au réalisme naissant. La peinture est alors chez Baudelaire le lieu où se révèlent le mieux ces tensions poétiques et esthétiques et elle constitue une voie d'accès privilégié à ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la modernité. C'est pourquoi l'analyse, qui porte aussi bien sur des écrivains comme Flaubert et Poe que sur des peintres comme Delacroix, Courbet et Manet, cherche à dégager les enjeux philosophiques de cette refondation du romantisme par Baudelaire. Alors que l'on assiste à la décomposition de la doctrine de l'ut pictura poesis, la peinture et la poésie chez Baudelaire s'éprouvent l'une à l'autre et font la preuve que le poète est « le peintre de la vie moderne ».
