Reviews

The Oxford Handbook of European Romanticism is a splendid volume that fills a need. ... This rigorous survey of the broad European movement of Romanticism is thus a welcome reference counterpoint to what currently exists for students and researchers. Hamilton made the deft editorial decision to divide the handbook into two sections: Languages and Discourses. Considering the topic by language does justice to the critical and creative communities that saw themselves as such while avoiding the anachronistic awkwardness of referring to nations or states that did not or no longer exist. This division also allows the volume to strike a nice balance between topics one would expect and topics that are refreshingly innovative ( Discourses ). ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers. --S. Barnett, CHOICE
