Rezensionen
"Frederick Burwick's Romanticism: Keywords is an accessible, compendious reference work that will be useful to undergraduates, postgraduates, and instructors alike."
"This is an extremely rich and comprehensive selection of terms, concepts and issues by a major scholar of Romanticism. The sections are lucid, informative, and packed with relevant and useful information. The purview of the volume is substantial and includes not only writing by canonical British figures, but also European writers. It is also exemplary in including in its illustrations writing by women in the period and writing for the stage. The format of the keyword is especially useful in identifying key areas which students and scholars can access."
"This is a terrific book. Each entry is an elegant mini-essay, packed with erudition and understanding, and rife with the fruits of a long career in the field. From the relative beginner to the specialist, everyone will find something fresh and provocative in this fascinating work, built up from a prodigious engagement in teaching and scholarship."
