British Romanticism in Asia : The Reception, Translation, and Transformation of Romantic Literature in India and East Asia Hardback
Edited by Alex Watson, Laurence Williams
Part of the Asia-Pacific and Literature in English series
Hardback
Description
This book examines the reception of British Romanticism in India and East Asia (including China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan).
Building on recent scholarship on “Global Romanticism”, it develops a reciprocal, cross-cultural model of scholarship, in which “Asian Romanticism” is recognized as itself an important part of the Romantic literary tradition.
It explores the connections between canonical British Romantic authors (including Austen, Blake, Byron, Shelley, and Wordsworth) and prominent Asian writers (including Natsume Soseki, Rabindranath Tagore, and Xu Zhimo).
The essays also challenge Eurocentric assumptions about reception and periodization, exploring how, since the early nineteenth century, British Romanticism has been creatively adapted and transformed by Asian writers.
