Imagining the Gallery
Reading portraiture as a national rhetoric during the romantic period, Imagining the Gallery reveals a pervasive cultural discourse that reflects and propels sociopolitical shifts taking place in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain.

The Circuit of Apollo
"Historicizes British women's relationships with other women through the medium of commemorative writing over the course of the long eighteenth century. Featuring archival discoveries, the contributions in this volume trace female networks, friendships, rivalries, and competition and uncover the material record of women's honor"--
Time of Beauty, Time of Fear
Displaying careful scholarship, sophisticated use of contemporary literary theory, and close readings of texts while recovering and analyzing materials from more than two centuries of British and other Anglophone cultural history, this collection of new essays traces the evolution of the Romantic child. The contributors play off one another, both within the three traditional historical periods--Romantic, Victorian, and modern/postmodern--and across intellectual and disciplinary categories.
Romantic Art in Practice
Explores the developing cultural tensions and connections that created a 'sister-art' movement between creative visual art and its literary counterparts.
Gentlemen und Dandys
"Das Gentlemanideal, das in der englischen Kultur tief verwurzelt ist, erlangte Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts seinen Höhepunkt. Je weiter man sich der Regency nähert, desto stärker lässt sich parallel zum Gentleman das Aufkommen eines neuen gesellschaftlichen Typus, des sogenannten Dandys, beobachten. Beide Rollenentwürfe entwickelten ihre Spezifika in ihrer äußeren Erscheinung und ihrem Auftreten in der Gesellschaft. Das Buch reflektiert erstmalig die propagierten Männlichkeitsideale von etwa 1790 bis 1840 anhand von englischen Herrenporträts und fokussiert auf die Unterschiede beider Leitbilder." -- book jacket.
