| 英文摘要 |
Susanne Schmid’s monograph aims to expand the “regrettably underresearched” field of British salon culture in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, an area the author highlights as particularly neglected in comparison with its German and French counterparts. The monograph sets itself a worthy mission: to revise the salon as an active and parallel site for cultural exchange in Britain, a sociable location which has frequently been obfuscated by the idealized isolation of the so-called Romantic “lonely” poems, despite having intersected with and, at times, fostered Romantic era poets. Early on, Schmid draws the methodological difficulties in tracing and recovering cultural production and spaces mediated by conversation, an engaging thread that runs throughout. By investigating the liminal and slippery arena of conversation, the text echoes studies in Romanticism in recent decades such as Gillian Russell and Clara Tuite’s edited collection, Romantic Sociability. |
