Romanticism and Improvisation, 1750–1850 - Cambridge Studies in Romanticism
Esterhammer, Angela (Universitat Zurich)
Angela Esterhammer explores the previously unknown influence of male and female performers who improvised poetry in public during the period 1750–1850. She explores how improvisation contributes to Romantic ideas about genius, gender, and national culture, and traces the representation of poetic improvisers in nineteenth-century fiction.
