The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Romantic Literature and Culture reimagines Romantic studies through a rich body of literary, cultural, and historical materials from Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Indigenous America, Latin America, and beyond.Working across languages, archives, and intellectual traditions, contributors to the volume recover voices, histories, and forms of knowledge that have often remained peripheral to dominant accounts of what counts as "Romantic." From Haitian revolutionary thought and Caribbean indigeneity to Palestinian traditions of memory, Egyptian historiography, Cherokee and Navajo epistemologies, Zulu and Xhosa praise poetry, Persian, Urdu, Bengali, and Korean literary cultures, Russian and Chinese negotiations with empire, and Cuban engagements with Indigenous American history, these materials reveal ways of imagining historical consciousness, political life, cultural memory, and artistic production that challenge inherited vocabularies of Romanticism. Combining literary history, postcolonial critique, decolonial thought, and comparative methodology, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Romantic Literature and Culture resists treating the global as a matter of geographical inclusion or expansion, advancing instead a mode of reading attuned to asymmetrical relations. An essential resource for scholars and students, the volume offers a new vision of global literary history in the Romantic era and the long nineteenth century.
