Excellent- More about Wild Romanticism
Wild Romanticism explores the cultural, symbolic, and ecological concept of wilderness in British and European Romanticism, examining representations in canonical texts and lesser-known works by authors such as Radcliffe, Clare, Hölderlin, P.B. Shelley, and Hogg. It discusses the sublime and picturesque, gender and independence, and the ability of natural forces to resist enclosure.

Wild Romanticism is a groundbreaking collection of essays that delves into the complex and multifaceted conceptions of the wild during British and European Romanticism. By consolidating contemporary perspectives, the book clarifies the emergence of wilderness as a cultural, symbolic, and ecological idea. This comprehensive volume brings together the expertise of twelve scholars who examine representations of wildness in canonical texts such as Frankenstein, Northanger Abbey, Kubla Khan, Expostulation and Reply, and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, as well as lesser-known works by Radcliffe, Clare, Hölderlin, P.B. Shelley, and Hogg.
Celebrating the wild offered Romantic-period authors a unique way of thinking about nature that resisted instrumentalization and anthropocentricism. At the same time, writing about wilderness engaged them in profound debates about aesthetic categories such as the sublime and picturesque, gender roles and the cultivation of independence as natural, and the resilience of natural forces against categorical or literal enclosure.
This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Romanticism, environmental literature, environmental history, and the broader field of environmental humanities. It offers insightful perspectives and analyses that shed light on the intricate connections between literature, nature, and the human experience during this transformative period. By exploring the representations of wildness in a range of canonical and lesser-known texts, the book provides a rich and interdisciplinary understanding of the complex and enduring legacy of Romanticism in shaping our understanding of the natural world.
