Sinopse
Características

Focusing on key members of the Pisan Circle, Byron, the Shelleys, and Leigh Hunt, Maria Schoina explores configurations of identity and the acculturating practices of British expatriates in post-Napoleonic Italy. The problems involved in British Romanticisms relations to its European others are her point of departure, as she argues that the emergence and mission of what Mary Shelley termed the Anglo-Italian is inextricably linked to the social, political, economic, and cultural conditions of the age: the forging of the British identity in the midst of an expanding empire, the rise of the English middle class and the establishment of a competitive print culture, and the envisioning, by a group of male and female Romantic liberal intellectuals, of social and political reform. Schoinas emphasis on the political implications of the British Romantics hyphenated self-representation results in fresh readings of the Pisan Circles Italianate writings that move them away from interpretations focused on a purely aesthetic or poetic attachment to Italy to uncover their complex ideological underpinnings. Recognizing that Mary Shelley was instrumental in conceptualizing the Romantics discourse of acculturation expands our understanding of this phenomenon, as does Schoinas convincing case for the importance of gender as a major determinant of Mary Shelleys construction of Anglo-Italianness.
