Reviews for European Romanticism: A Reader
This is an awe-inspiring volume. Not only because it is a real wrist-breaker of an anthology, but also because the concept behind it is truly ambitious... a collection of texts that is unique in scope and original in design...There is nothing comparable. Every library should have a copy, and every lover of Romanticism should have access to this anthology.
