Full Description
British Romanticism and Denmark shows how the articulation in British Romantic-period writing of the idea of a 'Northern' cultural identity shared by Britain and Denmark and rooted in the classical Scandinavian past played an important role in the emergence and development of Romanticism and Romantic nationalism in both countries. By addressing a wide range of Nordic as well as Anglophone scholarship, this study offers new perspectives on British, Danish and European Romanticisms, and on the relationship between them.
