Engaging with research fields including studies of cultural transfer, reception, transtextuality and adaptation, Lis Moller charts the circulation of ideas and texts popular ballads and literary works inspired by popular balladry between three languages: English, German and Danish. By tracing such exchanges, she challenges the idea that the Romantic-era ballad revival represented an inward turn towards the roots of one's national culture. As an alternative to the national approach, Moller proposes to view the ballad revival as a search for Northern European cultural entanglements. This book therefore contributes to the new trend in Romantic studies, which, moving beyond the mono-national approach, focuses on European Romanticism and explores the interaction of individual Romanticisms across national borders.
Lis Møller is Professor of Comparative Literature at Aarhus University, Denmark. She has authored and co-authored monographs, book chapters and articles on various aspects of Romantic-era Scandinavian, British, and German literature and culture. Most recently, she has co-authored the first comprehensive monograph on medievalism in Danish romantic literature, Middelalderisme I dansk romantisk litteratur (2023) and written the chapter on ‘Literatures of the North’ in The Cambridge History of European Romantic Literature edited by Patrick Vince (2023).
