The first book to delineate the contours of an international women's Romanticism, it argues that the \u003ci\u003ekünstlerromane\u003c\/i\u003e of Mary Shelley, Bettine von Arnim, and George Sand offer feminist understandings of history and transcendence that constitute a critique of Romanticism from within. The book examines meditative, mystical and utopian visions of religious and artistic transcendence in the novels of women Romanticists as vehicles for the representation of a gendered subjectivity that seeks detachment and distance from the interests and strictures of the existing patriarchal social and cultural order. For these writers, the author argues, self-transcendence means an abandonment or dissolution of the individual self through political and spiritual efforts that culminate in a revelation of the divinity of a collective selfhood that comes into being through historical process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234386727256,"sku":"9780415654609","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415654609_709618a9-7148-48c6-8aa8-5fae9cff3af8.jpg?v=1769148939","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/tracing-womens-romanticism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
