商品描述
This book tracks the rise of modern cultural regionalism across the turn of the nineteenth century. Attending specifically to literature and literary culture, it examines how a particular region--southwest Scotland--was reimagined between 1770 and 1830. Regionalisms were a vital, emergent force in this period, in dialogue with the local, the national, the transnational and the imperial. In the case of southwest Scotland, the literary inscription of the region was generated in a blossoming periodical press; by visitors like Dorothy Wordsworth and John Keats; by resident icon Robert Burns; by homesick emigrants such as Allan Cunningham; by adventurers, colonialists and pirates looking back from within and beyond the formal limits of empire; by the unprecedented success of Walter Scott; and by many others navigating the opportunities presented by rapidly evolving economic, environmental and infrastructural conditions. Regional Romanticism illuminates a neglected aspect of anglophone literary history, acknowledging regions and regionalism as a primary frame of reference in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century culture.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書追蹤了十九世紀轉折時期現代文化區域主義的崛起。專注於文學和文學文化,它探討了一個特定地區──蘇格蘭西南部──在1770年至1830年間如何被重新想像。在這個時期,區域主義是一股重要的新興力量,與當地、國家、跨國和帝國對話。在蘇格蘭西南部的情況下,該地區的文學記錄是在蓬勃發展的期刊出版物中產生的;由多羅西·華茲菲和約翰·浣熊等訪客;由當地偶像羅伯特·伯恩斯;由思鄉的移民如艾倫·坎寧安;由冒險家、殖民者和海盜從帝國的正式界限內外回顧;由沃爾特·斯科特的前所未有的成功;以及許多其他人在快速發展的經濟、環境和基礎設施條件下探索機遇。《區域浪漫主義》照亮了英語文學史中被忽視的一個方面,承認區域和區域主義作為十八世紀末和十九世紀初文化的主要參照框架。
