We are glad to announce the publication of the most recent issue of The BARS Review (No. 59, Autumn 2022). The issue contains ten reviews of recent scholarly work within the field of Romanticism, broadly conceived. Four of the reviews comprise a ‘spotlight’ section on ‘Rethinking Romantic Concepts’.
The individual reviews are detailed below; all reviews are openly available in html and .pdf through The BARS Review website, and a compilation of all the reviews in the number can be downloaded as a .pdf.
If you have comments on the new number, or on the Review in general, we’d be very grateful for any feedback that would allow us to improve the site or its content. As always, Mark Sandy would be very happy to hear from people who would like to review for BARS.
