- Title
ADVENTURES IN FORM: THE HEBRIDES AND THE ROMANTIC IMAGINARY.
- Authors
YEUNG, HEATHER H.
- Abstract
In the literature, art and music of the Romantic Period that is representative of or associated with the Hebrides we can see the idea of the island in general, and of the Hebrides in particular, change in imagination and representation. How, indeed, is it possible to find a form appropriate to communicate one's experience of these islands, or of islands in general, in all their shifting multiplicity? This essay maps the changes in the conception and representation or articulation of the Hebrides in the arts in this period, moving from Scott through Keats, Byron, and the Wordsworths, to Mendelssohn and Turner as the exposed, contested and liminal space of the island becomes, as the period evolves, a site less for ekphrastic pedantry than for formal license and artistic innovation.
