Romanticism, Republicanism, and the Swiss Myth by Patrick H Vincent

Romanticism, Republicanism, and the Swiss Myth by Patrick H Vincent

Illuminating the reasons for the immense popularity of travel to Switzerland and the proliferation of images of that country during the Romantic period, this book shows how its idealized republican landscape enabled contemporaries to compare the Alps with Britain and to imagine a liberal alternative to French liberty.

'Given the long-standing link between Romanticism and Switzerland, it seems extraordinary that Patrick Vincent's excellent [book] is the first monograph to address this crucial literary and cultural relationship … Vincent's wide-ranging, detailed, and comprehensive study reveals the complexities of this relationship, scrupulously tracing the shifting individual and collective responses to Switzerland in British literature' Simon Bainbridge, The Wordsworth Circle

Patrick Vincent is the author of The Romantic Poetess: European Culture, Politics and Gender, 1820–1840 (2004), and has edited or co-edited several books, including an edition of Helen Maria Williams' A Tour in Switzerland (2011), Romanticism, Rousseau, Switzerland: New Prospects (2015) and The Cambridge History of European Romantic Literature (forthcoming 2023).
