"Ode on a Grecian Urn": Hypercanonicity and Pedagogy
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by James O'Rourke, essays by David Collings, Helen Regueiro Elam, Spencer Hall, David P. Haney, John Kandl, Bridget Keegan, Brennan O'Donnell, jeffrey C. Robinson, Jack Stillinger, Heidi Thomson and Susan J. Wolfson.
This Volume on the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is part of the Romantic Circles Praxis series on seminal texts in Romantic literature. The eleven contributors were asked not for original scholarship on the "Urn," but for an account of how they teach this hypercanonic text. If it can be assumed that every English major knows something about this poem, this volume tries to identify what it is that they know. These eleven essays suggest that students are confronting the enigmas of Keats's poem just as he contemplated the enigmas of the silent urn, and they show that there is a rich variety of methods for bringing students to an appreciation of Keats's uncertainties, mysteries and doubts. </p

Utopianism and Joanna Baillie
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction and an essay by Regina Hewitt, as well as essays by Thomas McLean, Robert C. Hale, William D. Brewer, and Marjean D. Purinton.
This volume contextualizes work by and work about Joanna Baillie with respect to revisionist thinking about utopianism. Since utopianism has become a postively valued concept within sociological, legal, and other fields, its implications for an understanding of Baillie's approach to social change/social problems, as well as for an understanding of scholarship recovering Baillie for contemporary purposes, deserve to be explored. </p
Gothic Technologies: Visuality in the Romantic Era
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by Robery Miles and essays by Fred Botting, Diane Long Hoeveler, Sophie Thomas, Dale Townshend, and Angela Wright.
This collection of essays explores the relationship between Romantic Gothicism and the rise of the vidual technologies centered on commerical exploitation of the magic lantern. Although grounded in the technological innovations of the Romantic and early Victorian periods--and reactions to them--the essays in the collection anticipate modern attitudes towards visuality, developing the link between the rise of literary Gothic and subsequent visual technologies. </p
Romantic Gastronomies
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxies Series includes an editor's introduction by Denise Gigante and essays by Michael D. Garval, Carolyn Korsmeyer, and Joshua Wilner.
Romanticism may be associated with gusto, but it has hardly been recognized--at least within literary circles--as the period that saw the invention of the restaurant and a unique, comic-philosophical genre of writing about food. But in fact Romanticism was coterminous with, and in many ways emblematic of, the culture of sophistication and social positioning we associate with modern gastronomy. </p
Obi
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by Charles Rzepka, essays by Peter G. Buckley, Jeffrey N. Cox, Jerrold E. Hogle, Robert Hoskins, Debbie Lee, and Charles Rzepka.
This Praxis volume began as two modern stagings of the 19th century play Obi; or Three-Finger'd Jack. The first staging was at the Playwright's Theater in Boston, on July 18, 2000. It included, besides staged portions of the play, papers read by Charles Rzepka, Peter Buckley, Jeffrey Cox and Debbie Lee. These papers formed the backbone of this Praxis volume. The second production was at Arizona State University, at the year 2000 Conference of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism (NASSR). It included the papers mentioned above and also the essay by Robert Hoskins included in this volume. Video excerpts of the Boston production are included as well, linked to plain text versions of the Obi melodrama and Obi pantomime. A scholarly edition of the Obi pantomime is forthcoming from Romantic Circles, edited by Jeffrey N. Cox. </p
Romanticism and the New Deleuze
Full text linkThe volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by Robert Mitchell and Ron Broglio, essays by Robert Mitchell, Ron Broglio, David Baulch, and David Collings.
This volume summarizes and utilizes the arc of Gilles Deleuze's work while turning it toward Blake, Kant, Shelley, and Wordsworth. It serves both as a primer for those not familiar with the idiosyncratic vocabulary and concepts of Deleuze as well as a thoughtful intervention in Romantic criticism in order to open up new terrain on travel, the sublime, and the revolutionary. Contributors include David Baulch on representation and revolution in Blake's America, Ron Broglio on Wordsworth and the picturesque narrative of encounter, and Robert on P.B. Shelley's sublim ,with a responding essay by David Collings. In an ongoing effort to make use of the multiple platforms of new media, Romantic Circles has provided audio of these essays. It is, we hope, one in a series of efforts at finding the proper utility of audiocasts.</p
Romanticism and the Insistence of the Aesthetic
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by Forest Pyle, essays by Ian Balfour, David Ferris, Karen Swann, with a response by Marc Redfield.
In spite of the recent prevalence of historical and sociological concerns in Romantic scholarship, the aesthetic insists: indeed, its very mode is one of insistence. The essays by Balfour, Ferris, and Swann collected for this issue address the question of "Romanticism and the Insistence of the Aesthetic" by turning in various forms of Romantic versions of the relationship between the aesthetic and power, whether as a form of violence or a force of possibility. In readings that address Kant (Balfour, Ferris) and Shelley (Balfour, Swann, Pyle) and that include discussions of Keats, Wordsworth, and Schiller, these essaysx demonstrate that to read is not to take refuge from but to subject onself to the adventures of power and force that are inextricable from the aesthetic. Redfield's response to these essays stresses their emphasis on the predicament of reading--the ways in which they "exemplify the diverse legacy of deconstruction"--and argues for the importance of their intervention in Romantic Studies.</p
Opera and Romanticism
Full text linkThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Seies includes an editor's introduction by Gillen D'Arcy Wood, essays by Christina Fuhrmannm, Dianne Long Hoeveler, J. Jennifer Jones, Jessica K. Quillin, and Anne Williams.
Demonstrating the widescale influence of opera upon the cultural field of the Romantic period, the essays collected in "Opera and Romanticism" aim to redress the critical neglect to which this form has been previously subjected. A lush interchange between opera and both literature and drama is examined in the essays of Christina Fuhrmann, Diane Hoeveler, and Anne Wiliams. Further, in the essays of J. Jennifer Jones and Jessica Quillin, we see that Romantic opera did not leave behind its Italian roots, but rather remained complexly connected to its predecessor in ways that can be seen in some of the most canonical writers of the time. By reclaiming the suppressed history of opera in this period, Gillen D'Arcy Wood's volume illustrates that opera is what he calls "a vital flashpoint of aesthetic and political interests in the long Romantic age."</p
