In this volume a team of three dozen international experts presents a fresh picture of literary prose fiction in the Romantic age seen from cross-cultural
and interdisciplinary perspectives. The work treats the appearance of major themes in characteristically Romantic versions, the power of Romantic discourse
to reshape imaginative writing, and a series of crucial reactions to the impact of Romanticism on cultural life down to the present, both in Europe and in
the New World.
Through its combination of chapters on thematic, generic, and discursive features, Romantic Prose Fiction achieves a unique theoretical stance, by
considering the opinions of primary Romantics and their successors not as guiding ?truths? by which to define the permanent ?meaning? of Romanticism, but
as data of cultural history that shed important light on an evolving civilization.
