Produktbeschreibung

The essays in this volume represent the best of recent critical writing on Romantic literature, and include contributions from critics such as Paul de Man, Mary Jacobus, Marjorie Levinson and Jerome Christensen. Through the course of their analyses they offer answers to perhaps the most essential question posed by the Romantic period: what is the role of language in history?
