The special theme of this volume of Romantik is ‘Renegotiations of romanticism’.
Hence, the theme section addresses the ways in which romanticism continues to
be renegotiated in post-romantic periods. This process of renegotiations pertains
to production and reception. Artists renegotiate texts of the romantic era, just as
those same texts are frequently renegotiated by critics, by historiographers, and
by national ideologies.
The articles in this issue show that the influence of romantic works is both
widespread and deep. As a set of ideas or a mode of thinking, romanticism has
proved itself to be both enduring and protean. This issue provides a number of
innovative analyses of how romanticism has been and continues to be renegotiated. The motive for inviting contributions examining the afterlife of romanticisms is to explore how we may understand romanticism as not just a past event,
but as an ongoing process of cultural development. We may usefully situate romanticism both in its historical context and in ours. It is our hope that this issue
will facilitate a dialogue between what romanticism was and how it continues to
unfold in various cultural manifestations – as romantic legacies in its immediate
aftermath, as contemporary debates, and as a vector of the future.
Several articles in the theme section discuss the question from the perspective
of the artist: How is the artist and his/her work influenced by romanticism and/
or particular romantic scholars? How does the artist engage with romanticism in
order to use, question and/or interfere with it?
Other articles discuss the question from the perspective of reception: How
has the idea of what we now call ‘romanticism’ been constructed over time? How
were ‘new’ romanticisms constructed? And finally, which works have been canonised and memorialised, and for what (national) purposes?
The articles that belong in the cluster of ‘Renegotiations of romanticism’ are
Mitchell B. Frank’s analysis of ‘New Romanticisms in Wilhelmine Germany’, Ka
rin Sanders’s examination of ‘The Romantic Fairy Tale and Surrealism: Marvelous Non-Sense and Dark Apprehensions’, and Sigrun Åsebø’s article ‘Travelling
Huts and Invading Spaceships: Marianne Heske, Tiril Schrøder, and Norwegian
Romantic Landscapes’. The issue also features a tripartite article, ‘Inger Christensen / Novalis / Philosophy of Nature’, by Anne Gry Haugland, Klaus MüllerWille, and Silje Svare on the romantic legacies found in the work of the Danish

FOREWORD
author Inger Christensen (1935–2008), an international name who was considered
the most eminent experimentalist of her generation and was often mentioned as
a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. The individual titles of the linked
articles on Inger Christensen are ‘Secret or Secretlessness?: On Poetological Dialogue and Affinities in Inger Christensen, Peter Waterhouse – and Novalis’ (Svare), ‘Native and Deep-Rooted: Positions in Inger Christensen’s Philosophy of Nature’ (Haugland), and ‘Dispersion, Countersymbols, and Mutual Representation:
Inger Christensen’s det and Novalis’ Die Lehrlinge zu Sais’ (Müller-Wille).
In addition to the articles featured in the theme section, this issue contains
articles that analyse and shed new light on romantic works, including poetry,
novels, and travelogues. These include Elisa Müller-Adams’s ‘Gender, Memory,
and Interculturality in Caroline de la Motte Fouqué’s Historical Novel Die Vertriebenen’, Jennifer Wawrzinek’s ‘Hospitality and the Nation in Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark’, and Per-Arne Bodin’s
‘The Romantic, the Gothic, and the Visual: Three Narratives about Amalia von
Krüdener and the Russian Poet Fedor Tiutchev’.
This year, we would again like to thank NOP-HS for supporting the journal
and to AU-Ideas for making it possible to print the large number of colour illustrations.
Welcome to Romantik!
