Petrarch in Romantic England
The Petrarchan revival in Romantic England was a unique phenomenon which involved an impressive number of scholars, translators and poets.

The Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe
Charles Darwin is a crucial figure in nineteenth-century science with an extensive and varied reception in different countries and disciplines. His theory had a revolutionary impact not only on biology, but also on other natural sciences and the new social sciences. The term 'Darwinism', already popular in Darwin's lifetime, ranged across many different areas and ideological aspects, and his own ideas about the implications of evolution for human cognitive, emotional, social and ethical capacities were often interpreted in a way that did not mirror his own intentions. The implications for religious, philosophical and political issues and institutions remain as momentous today as in his own time. This volume conveys the many-sidedness of Darwin's reception and exhibit his far-reaching impact on our self- understanding as human beings.

The Reception of Byron in Europe
Richard Cardwell was given the Elma Dangerfield Award of the International Byron Society for the best book on Byron in 2005-06 Byron, arguably, was and remains the most famous and infamous English poet in the modern period in Continental Europe. From Portugal in the West to Russia in the East, from Scandinavia in the North to Spain in the South he inspired and provoked, was adored and reviled, inspired notions of freedom in subject lands and, with it, the growth of national idealisms which, soon, would re-draw the map of Europe. At the same time the Byronic persona, incarnate in "Childe Harold", "Manfred", "Lara" and others, was received with enthusiasm and fear as experience demonstrated th...
Coleridge in Italy
"Coleridge was involved in Italian culture in ways which many of his contemporaries ignored. Edoardo Zuccato explodes the common categorisation of the elder Romantics as "German" and the younger as "Italian" and shows how Italian Renaissance poets and painters helped develop Coleridge's theory of imagination. Coleridge's reading of Italian lyric poetry ranged from Dante to Metastasio, but the most significant experience for him was Petrarch who influenced his love poetry after 1804 and led him to reconsider classicist poetics. The fine arts were involved in the process, and, even if his artistic opinions were conservative, painting was the only other art besides poetry to which he applied his critical theory." "Zuccato argues that a satisfactory cultural history of the period ought to consider similarities as well as differences between the two generations of Romantics. This important contribution to our knowledge of the period sheds light on both Coleridge's intellectual life and the history of Italy and English Romanticism."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
