ReviewsWild Romanticism is an innovative and highly original collection of essays that makes a substantial and persuasive contribution to the discipline of environmental humanities. The topic of wilderness during the Romantic period is an important and largely unexplored area of scholarship, one that will be of compelling interest to scholars of British and European literature and environmental history. This book will appeal to a broad range of readers due to its bold originality and its relevance to contemporary environmental concerns. -- James C. McKusick, University of Missouri-Kansas City, author of Green Writing: Romanticism and Ecology and co-editor of Literature and Nature: Four Centuries of Nature Writing ., Wild Romanticism is an innovative and highly original collection of essays that makes a substantial and persuasive contribution to the discipline of environmental humanities.

SynopsisWild Romanticism consolidates contemporary thinking about conceptions of the wild in British and European Romanticism, clarifying the emergence of wilderness as a cultural, symbolic and ecological idea., Wild Romanticism consolidates contemporary thinking about conceptions of the wild in British and European Romanticism, clarifying the emergence of wilderness as a cultural, symbolic, and ecological idea. This volume brings together the work of twelve scholars, who examine representations of wildness in canonical texts such as Frankenstein , Northanger Abbey , "Kubla Khan," "Expostulation and Reply," and Childe Harold s Pilgrimage , as well as lesser-known works by Radcliffe, Clare, Hölderlin, P.B. Shelley, and Hogg. Celebrating the wild provided Romantic-period authors with a way of thinking about nature that resists instrumentalization and anthropocentricism, but writing about wilderness also engaged them in debates about the sublime and picturesque as aesthetic categories, about gender and the cultivation of independence as natural, and about the ability of natural forces to resist categorical or literal enclosure. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Romanticism, environmental literature, environmental history, and the environmental humanities more broadly., Wild Romanticism consolidates contemporary thinking about conceptions of the wild in British and European Romanticism, clarifying the emergence of wilderness as a cultural, symbolic, and ecological idea.
