“…The dis/continuity of the later 1810s through the 1840s is perhaps best captured by the rubric of late Romanticism, which leverages its adjective to name a subperiod that inhabits, if in disjointed and disjointing fashion, a broader epoch. Partly because it operates as a calque of the German Spätromantik , which has been richly considered and theorised (Schmidt, 2009), the phrase has the additional advantage of priming scholarship to challenge the temporal, spatial and even medial constraints placed upon Romantic studies. If a certain belatedness can be argued to inhere in all Romanticism, which often adopts the register of anticipative retrospection (Rohrbach, 2015), even to the point of speaking posthumously (Bennett, 1999), this tendency grows even more meaningful as the period moves into its waning decades and as it translates itself transnationally, in that all national varietals except for the German and perhaps the British (Hutchinson, 2016, pp.…”

Acting on recently surging critical interest in late Romanticism, a subperiod taken to range roughly from the later 1810s through the 1840s, the present article reviews past and current work in this burgeoning field, particularly highlighting developing avenues for future research. Two competing accounts of late Romanticism are contrasted: a long‐dominant take which regards the subperiod as fundamentally secondary, derived, and inferior; and a recently energised perspective which reveals the vibrancy and innovativeness of late‐Romantic culture. If the former construes history by prioritising the experiences of poets, acting on a cultural paradigm that pivots on the centrality of a particularised genre, the latter pursues a Romanticism that is reconfigured under the pressure of a developing media system, in which multiple specialised genres acquire distinct functions. The discussion of these two perspectives is anchored in the late‐Romantic fascination for times and places; that is, in debates pertaining to periodicity and eventfulness, and to nationalism and transnationalism.

Current theological narrations of the story of modernity typically ignore music, despite its ubiquitous role in modern culture and the ways in which music has been intertwined with modernity’s ambivalent relation to the Christian concept of God. In conversation with musicologists and music theorists, this collection of essays aims to demonstrate that the practices of music and its discourses bear their own kind of witness to some of the pivotal theological currents and counter-currents that have shaped modernity—that music has been affected in distinctive ways by those currents, and in some cases may have contributed to forming them. In addition, it seeks to show that in some cases, music is capable of yielding highly effective means of addressing and moving beyond some of the more intractable theological aporias which modernity has bequeathed to us. Particular attention is given to the complex relations between music and language, and the ways in which theology, a discipline involving language at its heart, can come to terms with practices which are undeniably coherent and meaningful but which nonetheless operate in ways that in many respects are quite distinct from language.
