Shakespeare and the Romantics by David Fuller

Shakespeare and the Romantics by David Fuller

This volume illustrates the meanings the Romantics took from Shakespeare. It studies the critical practices and theories that evolved in England, Germany, and France, as well as the English stage and the relations between performance, criticism, and scholarship.

what marks out Fuller's book is the sheer breadth with which he reads 'Romanticism' across Europe.. Even as Fuller's book explores the workings of Romantic criticism in depth, it never loses sight of 'Romanticism' as a historical category, spanning roughly 1770-1850, and that sense of history is illuminating * TLS *
Concisely written and argued, these 213 pages (excluding Chronology, Notes, Further Reading and Index), are written within the parameters of inventive expression and a most suave undertaking of gentle intellectuality. * David Marx Book Reviews *
Shakespeare and the Romantics provides an unequalled account of the importance of Romantic criticism not only for any critical evaluation of Shakespeare but also for the history of literary criticism. * Charles W. Mahoney, Reception: Texts, Readers, Audiences, History *
