Romantic Border Crossings

Romantic Border Crossings participates in the movement towards 'otherness' in Romanticism, by uncovering the intellectual and disciplinary anxieties surrounding comparative studies of British, American, and European literature and culture. Spanning a wide range of authors and topics that includes Elizabeth Inchbald, Gérard de Nerval, Jacobinism, Goethe, the Gothic, Orientalism, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and Anglo-American conflicts, the collection constitutes a rethinking of the divisions that continue to haunt Romantic studies.
