The articles in this number of Romantik include new research on reverie and dream as the locus of metaphor in Percy Bysshe Shelley's Prometheus Unbound; an enquiry into the Royal Swedish Society for the Publication of Manuscripts Relating to Scandinavian History and the role it played in the construction of national memory and heritage; a discussion of Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg's and John Martin's iconographies of the sublime in the intersection between art and popular visual spectacle; archival discoveries related to the publication of medieval romance in early nineteenth-century Britain; and a reassessment of The Prelude as a formation narrative, arguing that William Wordsworth displays a conflicted attitude to the growth and progress usually found in the Bildungsroman. The journal also contains reviews of new books on the romantic period published in the Nordic countries.

It has oten been noted that even durîng the heîght o the Revoutîonary and Napoeonîc Wars, whîch scarred romantîc-perîod Europe, communîtîes o art-îsts, înteectuas, natura phîosophers, and others managed to maîntaîn thrîv-îng connectîons across regîona and natîona boundarîes even as those bounda-rîes were în the process o beîng drawn and redrawn. Thîs observatîon stands at odds wîth tradîtîona notîons o the romantîc artîst as îsoated genîus and o romantîc cutura productîvîty as essentîay an întrospectîve process, or în-dîvîduas and or natîons. The varîous European countrîes may have each had theîr own versîon o romantîcîsm, but the îdea o natîonaîsm was transnatîona. The împact o works by J. W. Goethe and Water Scott or J. M. W. Turner or J. C. Dah on îterary, pîctorîa, and phîosophîca deveopments, or exampe, îs de-monstrabe, but there îs stî work to be done on the extensîve European network o correspondents, transators, and traveers, who were carrîers o romantîc cu-ture. Hence, în these days o Brexît and the threat o new ractures în Europe, the study o the romantîc perîod ofers us a tîmey remînder not ony o our common cutura herîtage but aso o the power o cutura actîvîty to transcend dîvîsîon. Academîc responses to the romantîc perîod have, o ate, încreasîngy begun to reflect thîs act. Studîes o the roe payed by oca, natîona, and înternatîona coaboratîons durîng the romantîc perîod are on the rîse. So, too, are coabora-tîve studîes – oten across natîona boundarîes – o varîous aspects o romantî-cîsm. One exampe îs the recent coectîon o essays,British Romanticism in European Perspective: Into the Eurozone(5), edîted by Steve Cark and Trîstanne Connoy, în whîch Brîtîsh romantîcîsm (îterature and art) îs not seen narrowy, as an în-suar phenomenon, but emphatîcay perspectîvîsed în terms o îts cosmopoîtan întegratîon wîthîn European cuture. Romantîc natîonaîsms, în partîcuar, have recenty been subjected to crîtîca examînatîon întended to uncover the extent to whîch varîous modes o cutura exchange were întegra to the natîon-buîdîng projects o many European coun-trîes în the ate eîghteenth and eary nîneteenth centurîes. Not east împortant în thîs process was the reatîonshîp between romantîc natîonaîsms and popuar, vernacuar tradîtîons predatîng the îdea o the natîon state. Many o these deveopments were expored at the NARS (Nordîc Assocîatîon or Romantîc Studîes) conerenceRethinking Cultural Memory700–850at hed
FOREWORD
Copenhagen Unîversîty în December 5, wîth the hep o undîng rom the Carsberg Foundatîon. The conerence brought together schoars rom coun-trîes and a varîety o dîscîpînes to învestîgate how the cutura and poîtîca cî-mate în romantîc and post-romantîc Europe set out to modernîse natîons by ran-tîcay searchîng or the tradîtîons o the past. Paradoxîcay, the egacy o the prîmîtîve, vernacuar, and oten pre-Chrîstîan past was recuperated as a means o definîng the present. Whether the aîm o recoverîng the past was orîented towards one natîon or had a wîder transnatîona scope (such as pan-Scandîna-vîanîsm or pan-Savîsm), the processes o recoverîng manuscrîpt or ora tradî-tîons took pace through an extensîve network o European connectîons. Sîm-îary, the remedîatîon o tradîtîon înto ashîonabe poetry and noves în one anguage more oten than not drew on modes în other countrîes. One nexus o agreement among the conerence deegates was the need or îndîvîdua natîona-îsms to be anaysed wîthîn a matrîx o înterockîng exchanges across borders, me-dîa, and anguages.Romantikaîms to be a orum or exacty such enquîrîes înto the dynamîcs o European romantîcîsms.

[ A B S T R A C T ] ‘Kunglîga samfundet för utgîvande av handskrîfter rörande Skandînavîens hîstorîa’ [Royal socîety for the publîcatîon of manuscrîpts on Scandînavîan hîstory], a socîety dedîcated to the edîtîng and prîntîng of hîstorîcal source documents, was founded în Stockholm în 85. Earlîer research has focused upon the edîtorîal praxîs of the socîety’s publîcatîon, Handlingar rörande Skandinaviens historia.Here I focus more upon the monumental and museologîcal aspects of the socîety’s work. Vîewed as types of natîonal monument, source edîtîons from the romantîc era can tell us somethîng about how hîstory was produced and popularîsed durîng thîs perîod. The source documents prînted înHandlingarserved as educatîonal tools întended to help the reader better understand hîstory, specîfically în thîs case the hîstory of Sweden. But such edîtîons also functîoned lîke a museum or a monu ment as trîggers for emotîons, memory, and hîstorîcîty, and lîke those other înstîtutîons, romantîcperîod source edîtîons played a sîgnîficant role în the constructîon and negotîa tîon of natîonal memory and herîtage.¹ . . . . . . . . .
