Wild Romanticism

Wild Romanticism consolidates contemporary thinking about conceptions of the wild in British and European Romanticism, clarifying the emergence of wilderness as a cultural, symbolic, and ecological idea. This volume brings together the work 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.
