(Studien zur Englischen Romantik, Bd. 1)

The Theme of Romantic Voices, Romantic Poetics is a deliberately broad and open one, but it is mainly designed to cover the dichotomies of voice vs. text, presence vs. absence, spontaneity vs. revision, form vs. process, body vs. idea(l), centre vs. margins etc., as they become apparent both in Romantic aesthetics and in the literary and artistic practice of the time. The volume offers a choice selection of papers delivered at the 10th International Symposium of the German Society for English Romanticism.
