Romantic Automata: Exhibitions, Figures, Organisms (Transits: Literature, Thought & Culture 1650-1850)
by Frederick Burwick Ashley Shams Peter Erickson Wendy C. Nielsen Erin M. Goss Kate Singer Kathryn S. Freeman Stefani Engelstein Lenora Hanson Christina Maria WeilerFor most of the eighteenth century, automata were deemed a celebration of human ingenuity, feats of science and reason. Among the Romantics, however, they prompted a contradictory apprehension about mechanization and contrivance: such science and engineering threatened the spiritual nature of life, the source of compassion in human society. A deep dread of puppets and the machinery that propels them consequently surfaced in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century literature. Romantic Automata is a collection of essays examining the rise of this cultural suspicion of mechanical imitations of life. Recent scholarship in post-humanism, post-colonialism, disability studies, post-modern feminism, eco-criticism, and radical Orientalism has significantly affected the critical discourse on this topic. In engaging with the work and thought of Coleridge, Poe, Hoffmann, Mary Shelley, and other Romantic luminaries, the contributors to this collection open new methodological approaches to understanding human interaction with technology that strives to simulate, supplement, or supplant organic life.

Romantic Days, Romantic Nights
by Lynn Jae MarshThree strong women. Three sensuous heroes. Three unique stories.Romantic Days, Romantic Nights, an anthology of love, romance, and sensuality.In SpellBound, the hero is a drop-dead gorgeous warlock. Jock "Lucky" Steele, prince of the Darklings, must convince his truemate, Lania Mills, princess of the Whitelings, to marry him. The stakes are high: the continuance of our plane of existence. But, Lania is a "modern" witch, rejecting ancient Wiccan Lore as the stuff of myth and legend like eye of newt and toe of frog. Besides, she wouldn't marry Jock if he was the last man -- uh, warlock -- on earth. Not after he got her pregnant, against her will, by dreamcasting.In Top Rope, Anne Seymour is a sheltered professor of Egyptology. Wes Myckale is an unpredictable sports entertainer. How do these seemingly opposites attract, find love, and live happily ever after? Their journey is a rollercoaster of a ride, vrooming when Anne poses as her twin sister at an IWC press conference. The best laid plans go amuck and events spin out of control after Anne innocently interferes with Wes's match. Despite her instant dislike of his brash wrestling persona, she cannot stay away from the "rush" of sports entertainment or the passion of his kisses. Through her love for this complex man -- who, like her, pretends to be someone that he is not -- she finds her inner strength and her destiny.In Risking All, Alexis "Cash" Claremont is a cocky, reckless entrepreneur. Drake Smith is a staid lawyer-turned-corporate raider. Together, they must overcome their charged temperaments and their character flaws to find that tender mending of true love. In their journey, they face the darkly laid plans of Drake's enemies, plans that not only threaten their happiness but Alexis's very life. This story of a blind woman who cannot accept her limitations and of the man who loves her will appeal to the reader who wants more -- indeed, demands more -- from her romance experience than an inane, frothy romp.

Romantic Fairy Tales: Penguin Classics
by Carol TullyThe four works collected in this volume reveal the fascinating preoccupations of the German Romantic movement, which revelled in the inexplicable, the uncanny and the unknown and, especially, the mysterious world of the fairy tale. Goethe's richly imaginative Fairy Tale (1795) depicts an ethereal underground realm and the marriage of a beautiful man and woman, whose union heralds a new age. In Tieck's Eckbert the Fair (1797) two outsiders seek refuge in the solitude of dark woods to conceal their incestuous passion from the world, while in Fouque's Undine (1811) a water nymph falls in love and acquires a soul, and so discovers the reality of human suffering. And Brentano's Tale of Honest Casper and Fair Annie (1817) portrays the tragedy of a young couple, destroyed by a false sense of honour and pride. <P><P>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Romantic Mediations: Media Theory and British Romanticism (SUNY series, Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century)
by Andrew BurkettFinalist in the 2016 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Social Sciences categoryRomantic Mediations investigates the connections among British Romantic writers, their texts, and the history of major forms of technical media from the turn of the nineteenth century to the present. Opening up the vital new subfield of Romantic media studies through interventions in both media archaeology and contemporary media theory, Andrew Burkett addresses the ways that unconventional techniques and theories of storage and processing media engage with classic texts by William Blake, Lord Byron, John Keats, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and others. Ordered chronologically and structured by four crucial though often overlooked case studies that delve into Romanticism's role in the histories of incipient technical media systems, the book focuses on different examples of the ways that imaginative literature and art of the period become taken up and transformed by—while simultaneously shaping considerably—new media environments and platforms of photography, phonography, moving images, and digital media.
Romantic Narrative: Shelley, Hays, Godwin, Wollstonecraft
by Tilottama RajanOften identified with its lyric poetry, Romanticism has come to be dismissed by historicists as an ineffectual idealism. By focusing on Romantic narrative, noted humanist Tilottama Rajan takes issue with this identification, as well as with the equation of narrative itself with the governmental apparatus of the Novel. Exploring the role of narrativity in the works of Romantic writers, Rajan also reflects on larger disciplinary issues such as the role of poetry versus prose in an emergent modernity and the place of Romanticism itself in a Victorianized nineteenth century.While engaging both genres, Romantic Narrative responds to the current critical shift from poetry to prose by concentrating, paradoxically, on a poetics of narrative in Romantic prose fiction. Rajan argues that poiesis, as a mode of thinking, is Romanticism’s legacy to an age of prose. She elucidates this thesis through careful readings of Shelley’s Alastor and his Gothic novels, Godwin’s Caleb Williams and St. Leon, Hays’ Memoirs of Emma Courtney, and Wollstonecraft’s The Wrongs of Woman. Rajan, winner of the Keats-Shelley Association's Distinguished Lifetime Award and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, is one of Romanticism’s leading scholars. Effective, articulate, and readable, Romantic Narrative will appeal to scholars in both nineteenth-century studies and narrative theory.
