Romanticism and the Contingent Self

Více o knize

Challenging the traditional view of Romanticism as an individualistic movement, this book explores an alternative perspective where the self is portrayed as fragile and contingent. It integrates philosophy, intellectual history, and literary studies with a transnational approach, covering works from England, Ireland, Scotland, colonial Australia, and beyond. Utilizing innovative digital techniques like sentiment mining and network analysis, it examines various genres, including fiction, poetry, and drama, offering a fresh framework for understanding the concept of self in Romantic literature.
