Overview
Explores the thriving and, until now, relatively unstudied axes of cultural exchange between Britain and the Nordic countries during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries
Describes a pattern of cultural encounter which was predicated upon exchange and a sense of commonality rather than upon the perception of difference or alterity
Genuinely international and interdisciplinary in scope

Reviews
“Romantic Norths challenges the assumption that European Romanticism was dominated by the supposedly major British, French and German traditions. The collection instead focuses on complex reciprocal influences through trans-national circulation, and demonstrates that canon-formation in Britain has close parallels to, and frequent dependence on, Nordic culture. It exemplifies the high quality of recent European scholarship and debate throughout, providing a salutary reminder to most Anglophone readers of how little they know about these issues (and how much of what they had assumed was wrong).” (Prof Stephen Clark, Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Letters, University of Tokyo, Japan)
