About the book
A wide spectrum of critical approaches to the works of German, English, American, French and Scandinavian Romantic writers is displayed in these fifteen essays. Of primary importance to the contributors is the correlation between literature, art and theory in romantic writing; they also discuss the interstices between Romanticism and 20th century theory.
The chapters are grouped under thematic headings: Language and semiotics; Image, imagery and imagination; Dream, fantasy and the unconscious; and History and intertext.
