travel and imperialism, Romantic geography, topographies, cartographies,
international romanticisms, the economies and contours of male desire,
theoretical transitions in British and American Romanticism, the borders
between science and literature, the Gothic and its interconnections to other

Romantic theory and theories of Romanticism, Romanticism and philosophy,
