Johann Nikolas Bohl Von Faber (1770-1836)

Yr oedd y masnachwr a'r ysgolhaig Johann Nikolas Böhl von Faber (1770-1836) yn arbenigwr ar Sbaeneg ac Almaeneg mewn cyfnod pan oedd cysyniadau'r Ymoleuo yn edwino, a'r esthetig Rhamantaidd yn dechrau grymuso. Mae'r gyfol hon yn amlinellu ac yn cloriannu ei gyfraniad sylweddol i ddatblygiad y mudiad Rhamantaidd Ewropeaidd.

'Carol Tully brings a dramatic change of perspective to the study of Bohl by going to the heart of what is most truly extraordinary about him: his activity as a thoroughly transcultural intellectual. Tully's study is a major, subtle reinterpretation of a key cultural mediator of the European Romantic Period. It is accompanied by an equally extensive and rigorous edition of Bohl's German correspondence, with illuminating notes and English-language summary, of similarly major value to scholars.'
