A new conceptualization and expansion of Romanticism that includes global texts and establishes them as part of the Romantic tradition.Stepping away from Eurocentric scholarship, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Romantic Literature and Culture embraces a vast global archive that invites readers to unearth the unexplored roots of Romantic aesthetics, affects, and abolitionary solidarities that spread unevenly but no less profoundly across cultures and continents. Contributors rewrite resistance as a decolonial, global phenomenon, examining literary and cultural responses to slave revolts in Jamaica and Brazil, political revolution in Haiti and Latin America, military, cultural, and economic rebellions in India and China, indigenous struggles such as the Seminole Wars, and other configurations of space, time, and event. The essays also engage with counter-hegemonic agency beyond the radical individual and the European liberal state, such as maroon collectives, petitions, anti-capitalist communities in North America after 1776, indigenous land sharing, and sharecropping in Mexico developed by communities that were excluded. Through these readings, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Romantic Literature and Culture reveals a myriad of conceptions of resistance and creativity from around the world and across history, suggesting how we might redefine or find new concepts and language altogether for terms such as “revolution,” “emancipation,” “the global,” and the "Romantic Era." It also examines what methods we might find that were already latent within that era, poised to disrupt European colonialism and to reconstitute an equitable and loving life.
