Ou special issue concludes wi h a wide- anging a icle by Paul Hamil on on
he Eu opean Roman ic ode. Using examples om English, Ge man and I alian,
Hamil on explains why he ode as a gen e – in i s Pinda ic, Ho a ian and Ana-
c eon ic a ian s and in new hyb id o ms which eme ged in his pe iod – assumed
such impo ance in Roman ic poe ics. I is, Hamil on a gues, a “ undamen ally
aspi a ional” gen e, pa icula ly he Pinda ic ode, which specializes in he a o
b inkmanship, as he poe - heo is Edwa d Young had spo ed a cen u y ea lie .
As such, i o e ed in ini e oppo uni ies o he aspi an poe o es he limi s o
imagina ion and poe ic exp ession. Ye he ode was also, o he Roman ics, a sel -
e lexi e o m which enabled poe s o analyze hei own he o ical pe o mance.
Once condemned as licen ious and chao ic ( he cha ge Young had answe ed wi h
his heo y o b inkmanship and poe ic “logic”), odes we e now abou hei own
licence. This p o ed an e en g ea e emp a ion o he Roman ic poe , who could
simul aneously push poe ic language and emo ion o hei limi s while engaging
in he “sel -wa ching” and “sub ilizing” (Cole idge’s e ms, om “F os a Midnigh ”)
ha we e equally congenial o he Roman ic mind. Hamil on shows how he sel -
e lexi e odes o Wo dswo h, Hölde lin, Leopa di and o he s b ing o a philosophical
ocus he p eoccupa ions ha shaped he con empo a y deba e on public u e ance,
doing so in a medium ha exempli ied he phenomenon hey desc ibed.
I is no coincidence, hen, ha we ind embedded and c i ically sc u inized in
