Thomas De Quincey's multivalent engagement with Romantic translation This book investigates how De Quincey's writing was shaped by his work as a translator. Drawing on a wide range of materials and readings, it traces how De Quincey employed structures of interlinguistic and interdiscursive exchange to reimagine Romanticism. The book examines how his theories and practices of translation served to position his oeuvre, define his style, frame his philosophy and reinvent the meaning of literary creativity. Brecht de Groote traces in particular the ways in which De Quincey used translation to locate British Romanticism in its European context. In shedding new light on De Quincey, de Groote models a new translation-centric approach to the study of Romanticism. Brecht de Groote is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Translation, Interpreting and Communication at the University of Ghent.

Autorenporträt
Brecht de Groote is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of the University of Ghent, Belgium. His research focuses on the Romantic period, extending into the eighteenth century and Victorian period; in particular, he is interested in the legacies of late-Romantic writing (1820s through early 1850s). Combining methods at the intersection of translation studies, media theory and literary theory, he investigates the ways in which British culture is shaped by ideas of translation and mediation, particularly as it engaged with France and Germany. Brecht previously held (post)doctoral positions at the Universities of Ghent, Leuven and Edinburgh. He has a monograph with Edinburgh University Press, Thomas De Quincey: Romanticism in Translation, and his work has appeared in Studies in Romanticism, Romanticism and the European Romantic Review, amongst other venues. He is currently working on a project on Romantic (pseudo-)translation and deception.
