With nearly 800 entries, the "Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era" offers a comprehensive guide to Western literature, thought, music, visual arts, and science during the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century. Looking beyond British culture to also examine developments across Europe and in the Americas, this illustrated two-volume set will help users map the profound changes in thought and sensibility that characterized this period.
Ranging from detailed studies to broader surveys, entries consist of analytical essays with suggestions for further reading. Entries devoted to individuals also include selected works. In addition, several articles are dedicated to people and concepts not traditionally defined as "Romantic," casting new light on the very concept of Romanticism by cataloging the rich interplay of cultural influences and crosscurrents at work.
Conceived as a wide-ranging research tool, the "Encyclopedia" spans academic disciplines andgeographic boundaries to offer students of history, literature, and Western civilization a comprehensive gateway to the Romantic era. It offers librarians a one-stop reference source for questions on Romantic arts, thought, and individuals, setting them within a broad historical framework that includes their social and political contexts.
More than 250 scholars have contributed to this encyclopedia, making it unique in its international scope. The "Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era" provides a detailed account of this period of turmoil, innovation, and artistic achievement, bringing a fresh new perspective to its study.
