Dear all, Romantic Circles is delighted to announce the publication of one
of its most ambitious Praxis volumes to date: Romanticism and Contemporary
Culture, edited by Laura Mandell and Michael Eberle-Sinatra. This volume
emerged from a virtual conference in RC's Villa Diodati MOO, a log of which
it makes accessible. Beyond individual essays by Ron Broglio, Jay Clayton,
