“Romantik. Journal for the Study of Romanticisms” is a multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of romantic-era cultural productions and concepts. The journal promotes innovative research across disciplinary borders. It aims to advance new historical discoveries, forward-looking theoretical insights and cutting-edge methodological approaches. The articles range over the full variety of cultural practices, including the written word, visual arts, history, philosophy, religion, and theatre during the romantic period (c. 1780–1840). But contributions to the discussion of pre- or post-romantic representations are also welcome. Since the romantic era was characterized by an emphasis on the vernacular, the title of the journal has been chosen to reflect the Germanic root of the word. But the journal is interested in all European romanticisms – and not least the connections and disconnections between them – hence, the use of the plural in the subtitle. Romantik is a peer-reviewed journal supported by the Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOP-HS).

Moreover,the issue features reviews of new books published in Scandinavia on the romantic era. Romantik is a multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of romantic-era cultural productions and concepts. Romantik is interested in all European and Nordic romanticisms, and not least the connections and disconnections between them - hence, the use of the plural in the subtitle.
Nordic Romanticism: Translation, Transmission, Transformation is an edited collection exploring the varied and complex interactions between national romanticisms in Britain, Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden. The collection considers both the reception and influence of Nordic romanticism in Britain and Germany and also the reciprocal impact of British and German romanticism in the Nordic countries. Taken as a whole, the volume suggests that to fully understand the range of these individual national romanticisms we need to see them not as isolated phenomena but rather as participating, via translation and other modes of reception, in a transnational or regional romanticism configured around the idea of a shared cultural inheritance in ‘the North’.
The nineteenth-century Romantic understanding of history is often confused with the longing for the past Golden Age. In this book, the Golden Age is seen from a new angle by discussing it in the context of the works of Friedrich Schlegel, who saw it not as bygone, but to be produced in the future.

Die Entstehung der literarischen Moderne ging seit dem 18. Jahrhundert damit einher, dass die Anzahl literarischer Manuskripte ebenso wuchs wie deren Bedeutung. Der Buchdruck hatte die Handschrift keineswegs überflüssig gemacht, sondern provozierte im Gegenteil einen neuen, am Autographen ausgerichteten Literaturbegriff. Verantwortlich dafür war ein vielfältiges Zusammenspiel von ästhetischen, epistemologischen, juristischen und wissenschaftshistorischen Faktoren. In seinem grundlegenden Buch entwickelt Christian Benne eine Theorie literarischer Gegenständlichkeit und geht dabei exemplarisch auf verschiedene europäische Literaturen ein. Er zeigt, welche Folgen die »Erfindung des Manuskripts« hatte und immer noch hat – nicht zuletzt für die Debatte über die Zukunft des Buches.
Mellem 1750 og 1850 genopdagede danske forfattere den nordiske middelalder, dens historie, kultur og litteratur, og de genfortolkede den i en ny tids ånd. Med inspiration fra Saxos Danmarkskrønike, den norrøne digtning og folkeviserne skabte digtere som Ewald, Oehlenschläger og Ingemann værker, der kom til at definere romantikken i Danmark. Drømmen om middelalderen blev en fællesnævner for dansk litteratur frem til midten af det 19. århundrede. For nogle var den forestillede middelalder en anledning til at fantasere om eventyr, heltedåd og romantisk kærlighed, mens andre gendigtede den som en storhedstid, der kunne dyrkes som en kilde til national stolthed og til oprejsning af folkeånden. Bogen er den første samlede fremstilling af middelalderisme – dvs. genfortolkning af middelalderen – i dansk romantisk litteratur. Den viser, hvordan et kosmopolitisk København blev centrum for en ny middelalderfascination, der bredte sig til resten af Europa, og som i vores egen tid giver genlyd i romaner, film og tv-serier om perioden.

This volume re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, it challenges long-standing teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, and political interests. The chapters are divided into three thematic parts. The chapters in Part I demonstrate the heteronomy of eighteenth-century British aesthetics. They chart the evolution of aesthetic concepts and discuss the ethical and political significance of the aesthetic theories of several key fi...
