Dear colleagues:
Romantic Circles is pleased to announce the publication of a new volume
in its Praxis series, *Romantic Libraries*, edited by Ina Ferris. It
can be found in the Praxis section of Romantic Circles or directly at:
http://www.rc.umd.edu/praxis/libraries/index.html
The essays in *Romantic Libraries* respond to a historical bibliophilia
that played into forms of early Romantic masculinity to produce a
personal and private inflection of library culture. The volume
concentrates on men and their books, exploring the intersection of
bookishness, male subjectivity, and literary value. Essays by Heather
Jackson, Deidre Lynch, and Ina Ferris set out to make more visible than
has hitherto been the case in Romantic studies the ways in which the
physical book--as affective and interiorized object--became central to
both personal and cultural identity-formation during the period.
