Reviews

This book by an excellent comparatist is a remarkable study in sociopoetics. Addressing the fundamental question of artistic identity, it is a splendid work of reference to draw upon for anyone interested in the culture and aesthetics of the romantic era. Alain Montandon, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature (CELIS/UCA). This comparative study, impressive in scope, traces the emergence of the notion of modern artistic identity in European Literature. Theoretically informed, as well as providing subtle analyses of original literature, this brilliant book sheds new light on our fascinating literary past. Dimitris Kargiotis, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Ioannina. Elena Anastasaki's monograph is comparativism at its best - an interdisciplinary study on artists and geniuses, as well as (self-)stylisation and (self-)mythification of poets and poetic figures during the Romantic period in Europe. Elke Sturm-Trigonakis, Professor of Comparative Literature, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki/Greece.
