Far from being a mere countermovement to Enlightenment, Romanticism is distinguished by a sustained reflection on what constitutes knowledge and what its borders are. The nature of knowledge, whether it is an 'art' or a 'science,' whether it should be 'philosophical,' 'historical' or 'empirical,'- these issues are very much under negotiation during the Romantic period. Assembling selected papers from the 15th International Symposium of the German Society for English Romanticism (GER) - a joint conference with the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism (NASSR) - this volume explores how knowledge of the most diverse disciplines has been represented and refracted in various genres of Romantic writing.§§Contributors: Richard Holmes, Tilottama Rajan, Paul Hamilton, Ian Duncan, Nicholas Halmi, Mark J.
