title: Romanticism Against The Tide Of Modernity
abstract: Romanticism is a worldview that finds expression over a whole range of cultural fields not only in literature and art but in philosophy, theology, political theory, and social movements. In Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity Michael Lowy and Robert Sayre formulate a theory that defines romanticism as a cultural protest against modern bourgeois industrial civilization and work to reveal the unity that underlies the extraordinary diversity of romanticism from the eighteenth to the twenty first century. After critiquing previous conceptions of romanticism and discussing its first European manifestations, Lowy and Sayre propose a typology of the sociopolitical positions held by romantic writers from "restitutionist" to various revolutionary/utopian forms. In subsequent chapters, they give extended treatment to writers as diverse as Coleridge and Ruskin, Charles Peguy, Ernst Bloch and Christa Wolf. Among other topics, they discuss the complex relationship between Marxism and romanticism before closing with a reflection on more contemporary manifestations of romanticism (for example, surrealism, the events of May 1968, and the ecological movement) as well as its future. Students and scholars of literature, humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies will be interested in this elegant and thoroughly original book.

title: Byron and Romanticism: Milton and Byron
abstract: I am too happy in being coupled in any way with Milton, and shall be glad if they find any points of comparison between him and me. Byron to Thomas Medwin W hen we think of Milton's influence upon English Romanticism the poets who first come to mind are Blake, Wordsworth, Keats, and perhaps Shelley. As for Byron, Milton rightly seems an altogether less dominating forebear since we remember only too well his distaste for blank verse, even Milton's blank verse: Blank verse, [except] in the drama, no one except Milton ever wrote who could rhyme I am aware that Johnson has said, after some hesitation, that he could not "prevail upon himself to wish that Milton had been a rhymer" but, with all humility, I am not persuaded that the Paradise Lost would not have been more nobly conveyed to posterity in the Stanza of Spenser or of Tasso, or in the terza rima of Dante, which the powers of Milton could easily have grafted on our language. Byron had a number of other criticisms of Milton's poetic craftsmanship, so one is not surprised that Milton did not haunt his work. Nevertheless, Milton's importance for Byron, both in his art and his life, was by no means insignificant. To speak of Milton's influence upon Byron is, I believe, immediately to close the discussion under two principal headings.

title: Romanticism and the Body
abstract: Romantic scholarship in the last decade of the twentieth century effectively transformed the object of study, bringing not only new attention to women writers and issues of slavery, empire, and colonialism into the field but making slave narratives, antislavery writing, and writing by women in many genres integral to a newly expanded and configured Romantic canon. At the same time, certain leading descriptions of the older canon, dominated by poetry and a handful of male writers, remained current, especially the notion that Romantic poetry sought transcendence and an ideal realm at the price of denying the body and material nature. This essay looks at a variety of new work on Romanticism and the body that challenges and revises that description, eliciting a pronounced materialist tendency found in a number of Romantic era discourses, authors, and texts. The new emphasis on the body and on the embodiment of mind brings together several subfields within Romantic scholarship, including literature and medicine, literature and scientific psychology, ecocriticism, environmental and diet studies, recent developments in colonial discourse studies and feminist criticism, and cognitive and neuroscientific approaches to reading Romanticism. Two of the most exciting developments in British Romantic scholarship during the 1990s not only contributed to new critical and theoretical perspectives on the field, but have changed the very way that the field is constituted: what "counts" as a Romantic text, what gets anthologized, what gets taught. The recovery and revaluation of Romantic era texts written by women, growing out of the feminist critique of canonical, male authored texts in the 1980s, effectively transformed and rejuvenated the field: dozens of authors barely mentioned for over a century came back into focus not to mention into print in ways that challenged reigning descriptions of Romanticism and threw "Romanticism" itself as a descriptive term into crisis. Even authors who had long remained available, most notably Jane Austen and Mary Shelley, became newly central to the field: for the first time, a young Romanticist might be expected to know and teach Emma as well as The Prelude Alongside of (and overlapping with) the new scholarship on women writers, came an unprecedented attention to the relation of Romantic era culture to matters of empire and colonialism, nation and ethnicity, slavery, and "race." This newly globalized

title: The emergence of romanticism
abstract: Although primarily known as an eminent historian of Russia, Nicholas Riasanovsky has been a longtime student of European Romanticism. In this book, Riasanovsky offers a refreshing and appealing new interpretation of Romanticism's goals and influence. He searches for the origins of the dazzling vision that made the great early Romantic poets in England and Germany Wordsworth, Coleridge, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel look at the world in a new way. He stresses that Romanticism was produced only by Western Christian civilization, with its unique view of humankind's relationship to God. The Romantic's frantic and heroic striving after unreachable goals mirrors Christian beliefs in human inability to adequately address God, speak to God, or praise God. Further, Riasanovsky argues that Romantic thought had important political implications, playing a key role in the rise of nationalism in Europe. Offering a historical examination of an area often limited to literary analysis, this book gracefully makes a larger historical statement about the nature and centrality of European Romanticism.
