Yet the decades that intervene between eighteenth-century Gothic and later Victorian hauntings (what we still call the Romantic era) produce only occasional haunted houses, and what appears in this vein exhibits a struggle, rooted in Otranto, over which elements of the Walpolean Gothic to convert, reject, half-employ, or half-satirize. By analyzing examples from Charlotte Smith’s The Old Manor House and Coleridge’s “Frost at Midnight” to Walter Scott’s The Antiquary and Byron’s Don Juan, this article shows that such insecurity in the Romantic haunted-house motif epitomizes the fundamental relationship of the Gothic to the Romantic. Here Gothicized houses become microcosms for abjecting the unresolved tugs-of-war among conflicting but pervasive ideologies over and against which Romantic writing strives to build its imaginative, and even its ironical, resolutions.","PeriodicalId":43566,"journal":{"name":"European Romantic Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"133 - 149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49059299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After many centuries, the form has passed through many other rooms, such as Robert Burton’s and Sir Thomas Browne’s libraries or the apartments of Sir Isaac Bickerstaff and Mr. Spectator, retaining an undeniable conjunction to the lodgings of its author. The house of the essayists has always been a place to which their readers were granted a special right of entry. This article aims to reflect on the spatial dimension of the English Romantic familiar essay as exemplified by the writings of Leigh Hunt and Charles Lamb. In particular, I will discuss the importance both writers attributed to the domestic interior as the most congenial scenario in which the essayistic act should be performed. Romantic essayists seemed to be more attuned with the early modern model of Montaigne. This allegiance is striking as the most frequent outlet through which essays in early nineteenth-century England were published was the same periodical press that during the eighteenth century seemed to have repudiated the private space of the parlor in favor of the socialized communal dimension of the coffee house.","PeriodicalId":43566,"journal":{"name":"European Romantic Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"179 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43035819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

S. Surr’s A Winter in London, Maria Edgeworth’s The Absentee and “The India Cabinet,” Mary Russell Mitford’s “Rosedale,” and Charles Lamb’s “Old China.” Ranging from the 1780s to the 1820s, this corpus allows us to identify a line of representations exoticizing the British house/home in order to throw into relief personal and collective projects, desires, and anxieties. By imagining orientalized domestic spaces, these works mirror the gradual diffusion of a taste for oriental interior decoration in Romantic-period Britain and, relatedly, the sociocultural pressures exerted by its imperial ventures in Asia. Thus, orientalized houses/homes function as fraught locations between East and West, as well as between word and space, or privacy and publicness. As this article demonstrates, by questioning exoticized domestic spaces from different angles, this fictional corpus problematizes Romantic-era appropriations of the East and the possibility of its containment and control inside a domestic sphere where familiarity and intimacy blend perturbingly with encroaching forms of alienness.","PeriodicalId":43566,"journal":{"name":"European Romantic Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"165 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45663426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seventeen, beautiful, raised in rural seclusion, her father manipulates her into marrying sixty-five year old Lord Dellwyn, a decrepit, gout-ridden and wealthy peer whose political influence Mr. Lucum hopes to secure in order to revive his own career. Eschewing the potential for the sentimental approach more obvious in some of Fielding’s other work and in near-contemporary novels such as Frances Sheridan’s Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph (1761) and others, the narrative voice of The Countess of Dellwyn maintains a distinctly critical distance from its heroine, remorselessly identifying her manifold errors in choices and conduct and resisting casting her as a victim, despite the parts played in her story by both her father and Lord Dellwyn himself. Key to the Countess’s downfall is her seduction by fashionable society, a seduction whose effects become most evident when the recently-married couple retire to Lord Dellwyn’s country seat at the London season’s end. In discussing the use to which the narrative puts Lord Dellwyn’s “noble ancient Castle,” swiftly and fashionably redecorated by the young Countess, this article considers how the novel employs houses as a counterpoint to the prevailing critique of its young heroine.","PeriodicalId":43566,"journal":{"name":"European Romantic Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"151 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47429193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They wrote a short preface describing the purpose and the intratextual conventions they reanimated. This activity enabled them to become active readers and inventive coauthors, adding to the Frankenstein legacy. Their work fostered inquiries into slippery authorship, modes of creation, textual doubling. They discovered that first-person narratives have distinct persuasive purposes, that Frankenstein has ghostwritten and corrected parts of Robert Walton’s journal, that the novel encourages readers to add to its incomplete form, to replicate, correct, and augment its textual body. About half the class wrote either a pastiche or parody imitating the novel’s epistolary form and narrative styles. The other half of the class created multi-media adaptations of Frankenstein. Both Ruston’s monograph and Hammerman’s collection help us to bridge the many conceptual curiosities generated by Frankenstein: the science of the early nineteenth century and its relevance to today’s science/technology; the unknowable about life and death; the qualities distinguishing human and nonhuman or posthuman. Both publications offer comprehensive surveys, accessible to undergraduates, of the Romantic-period’s scientific underpinnings and contemporary applications of the novel’s major themes. Both publications are particularly useful resources for those of us who routinely teach Mary Shelley’s novel and its numerous adaptations, parodies, and sequels. The open-endedness of Frankenstein continues to invite, as these publications demonstrate, additional speculation, application, and scholarship.","PeriodicalId":43566,"journal":{"name":"European Romantic Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"112 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41640046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
