Abstract

Abstract The early decades of the 19th century witnessed, all over Europe, a surge of Romantic historicism which affected, not only the production of fresh texts, but also the (re-)discovery and edition of ancient ones. While this phenomenon spawned the paradigm of the “national literatures” across Europe, neither its transnational spread nor its receptive/productive dualism can be properly charted by the “national” literary historiography which emerged in its wake. A book-historical approach is here offered instead.
