The title of this special issue of "La Questione Romantica" is deliberately ambiguous as it might be understood in two different ways: on the one hand, it stresses the survival of Romantic features within Victorian literary culture (that is, exploring the extent to which the Victorians themselves might be considered ‘Romantic’); or, on the other, it may refer to ways in which the Victorian reception of Romantic authors, ideas and genres has made the Romantics themselves appear Victorian over the course of time. Although distinct, these two modes of survival are almost inextricably intertwined. This collection of essays intends to provide new insights into both.

Abstract
The title of this special issue of "La Questione Romantica" is deliberately ambiguous as it might be understood in two different ways: on the one hand, it stresses the survival of Romantic features within Victorian literary culture (that is, exploring the extent to which the Victorians themselves might be considered ‘Romantic’); or, on the other, it may refer to ways in which the Victorian reception of Romantic authors, ideas and genres has made the Romantics themselves appear Victorian over the course of time. Although distinct, these two modes of survival are almost inextricably intertwined. This collection of essays intends to provide new insights into both.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
