8 The special theme of this volume of Romantik is Renegotiations of romanticism. Hence, the theme section addresses the ways in which romanticism continues to be renegotiated in post-romantic periods. This process of renegotiations pertains to production and reception. Artists renegotiate texts of the romantic era, just as those same texts are frequently renegotiated by critics, by historiographers, and by national ideologies. The articles in this issue show that the influence of romantic works is both widespread and deep. As a set of ideas or a mode of thinking, romanticism has proved itself to be both enduring and protean. This issue provides a number of innovative analyses of how romanticism has been and continues to be renegotiated. The motive for inviting contributions examining the afterlife of romanticisms is to explore how we may understand romanticism as not just a past event, but as an ongoing process of cultural development. We may usefully situate romanticism both in its historical context and in ours. It is our hope that this issue will facilitate a dialogue between what romanticism was and how it continues to unfold in various cultural manifestations as romantic legacies in its immediate aftermath, as contemporary debates, and as a vector of the future. Several articles in the theme section discuss the question from the perspective of the artist: How is the artist and his/her work influenced by romanticism and/ or particular romantic scholars? How does the artist engage with romanticism in order to use, question and/or interfere with it? Other articles discuss the question from the perspective of reception: How has the idea of what we now call romanticism been constructed over time? How were new romanticisms constructed? And finally, which works have been canonised and memorialised, and for what (national) purposes? The articles that belong in the cluster of Renegotiations of romanticism are Mitchell B. Frank s analysis of New Romanticisms in Wilhelmine Germany, Karin Sanders s examination of The Romantic Fairy Tale and Surrealism: Marvelous Non-Sense and Dark Apprehensions, and Sigrun Åsebø s article Travelling Huts and Invading Spaceships: Marianne Heske, Tiril Schrøder, and Norwegian Romantic Landscapes. The issue also features a tripartite article, Inger Christensen / Novalis / Philosophy of Nature, by Anne Gry Haugland, Klaus Müller- Wille, and Silje Svare on the romantic legacies found in the work of the Danish Contents

9 FOREWORD author Inger Christensen ( ), an international name who was considered the most eminent experimentalist of her generation and was often mentioned as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature. The individual titles of the linked articles on Inger Christensen are Secret or Secretlessness?: On Poetological Dialogue and Affinities in Inger Christensen, Peter Waterhouse and Novalis (Svare), Native and Deep-Rooted: Positions in Inger Christensen s Philosophy of Nature (Haugland), and Dispersion, Countersymbols, and Mutual Representation: Inger Christensen s det and Novalis Die Lehrlinge zu Sais (Müller-Wille). In addition to the articles featured in the theme section, this issue contains articles that analyse and shed new light on romantic works, including poetry, novels, and travelogues. These include Elisa Müller-Adams s Gender, Memory, and Interculturality in Caroline de la Motte Fouqué s Historical Novel Die Vertriebenen, Jennifer Wawrzinek s Hospitality and the Nation in Mary Wollstonecraft s A Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, and Per-Arne Bodin s The Romantic, the Gothic, and the Visual: Three Narratives about Amalia von Krüdener and the Russian Poet Fedor Tiutchev. This year, we would again like to thank NOP-HS for supporting the journal and to AU-Ideas for making it possible to print the large number of colour illustrations. Welcome to Romantik!
