The Romanticism Association (RA)
The Romanticism Association aims to foster the study of Romanticism by producing the Journal of Romanticism, holding conferences, and conducting similar academic activities.
The broader initial drive is to expand the disciplinary, geographic, and historical boundaries that have limited and divided the study of the cultural phenomenon of Romanticism. Thus the Association seeks to engage with art history, literature, musicology, philosophy, politics, scientific history, and many other approaches to human culture. The ultimate purpose is to develop a fresh understanding of what changed with the emergence of the Romantic world-view, why it changed, and how the impact of that change still resonates today.
The Editorial Introduction to the first volume of the Journal of Romanticism, published in 2016, served to establish the drive and direction of the Romanticism Association, as well as to introduce the Special Inaugural Issue on Romanticism and Mysticism. It also serves as an example of the style, tone, and atmosphere of the journal itself, and so may be helpful to prospective submitters.
