Its comparative angle ranges from the Medieval and Baroque period to the visual and stylistic experimentations of the Romantic age, in the prose of Anne Radcliffe, the experiments of Friederich Schlegel, and in Wordsworth?s Prelude. The book examines the cultural traces of the transformation of perception and representation in art, architecture, literature, and print culture, providing an indispensable background to any discussion of nineteenth-century culture at large and its striving for a figurative model of realism. Understanding the origins of nineteenth-century mimesis through an unacknowledged genealogy of visual practices helps also to redefine novel theory and points to the centrality of the new definition of ?historicism? irradiating from Jena Romanticism for the structuring of modern cultural studies. 517 3 $aEPUB 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x19th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x19th century. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 14$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 676 $a801 700 $aGabriele$b Alberto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0787003 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156436103321 996 $aThe Emergence of Pre-Cinema$92536803 997 $aUNINA
