Description
Johann Nikolas Bohl von Faber (1770-1836) was a Hispanist and Germanist at a time when the balance of ideological dominance was shifting from Enlightenment thought towards the new Romantic aesthetic. This book outlines and evaluates his considerable contribution to the development of European Romanticism.
Reviews
'Carol Tully brings a dramatic change of perspective to the study of Bohl by going to the heart of what is most truly extraordinary about him: his activity as a thoroughly transcultural intellectual. Tully's study is a major, subtle reinterpretation of a key cultural mediator of the European Romantic Period. It is accompanied by an equally extensive and rigorous edition of Bohl's German correspondence, with illuminating notes and English-language summary, of similarly major value to scholars.' Andrew Ginger, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, 85 (2008)
