The author shows that the Romantic ideal of intersubjectivity appears in a very particular light when we turn to later and lesser-known Romantic literary periodicals, above all O.I. Senkovskii's \u003ci\u003eLibrary for Reading\u003c\/i\u003e. The \u003ci\u003eLibrary for Reading\u003c\/i\u003e is famous not for its Romanticism, but for its crass commercialization of literature. In the author's reading, however, Romanticism and the literary marketplace produce the same destablization of reading and writing identities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Encounters\u003c\/i\u003e restores to Russian literary history a writer and a work long marginalized. As the book places Senkovskii in a broader European context, it argues for a re-evaluation of the relationship of Russian to European Romanticism, and for a particular understanding of European Romanticism as a whole. Romanticism is often described as a movement valorizing sincerity, authenticity, and originality. This book argues exactly the opposite, returning subversiveness to a movement long part of the literary establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Frazier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804755175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804755177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.38w x 0.81d","brand":"Melissa Frazier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202171126015,"sku":"9780804755177","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_770d44a1-c9bd-40db-abdf-ebb0e2232085.jpg?v=1756819835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/romantic-encounters-melissa-frazier-9780804755177","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
