Overview
Traces a multifaceted discourse about Denmark in British eighteenth-century and Romantic-period culture British Romanticism and Denmark shows how the articulation in British Romantic-period writing of the idea of a 'Northern' cultural identity - shared by Britain and Denmark and rooted in the classical Scandinavian past - played an important role in the emergence and development of Romanticism and Romantic nationalism in both countries. By addressing a wide range of Nordic as well as Anglophone scholarship, this study offers new perspectives on British, Danish and European Romanticisms, and on the relationship between them.
