Romanticism Across the Disciplines

Twelve essays explore different manifestations of Romanticism in history, music, literature, the visual arts, and philosophy. Particular topics include the growth of nationalism in literature and music, the influence of the Italian journal Il Conciliatore (1818- 1819), The notion of "wanderer" as a trope in German culture, the resurgence of conceptual romanticism in Jeanette Wintersons's novel The Passion, and the romanticism found in Poe's parody of The Arabian Nights.
