Abstract
Nasser Abufarha’s description of land tenure and collective ownership in Palestine in the nineteenth century and the present day offers a stark example of the relevance of Palestine and Palestinians to both historical and contemporary accounts of Romanticism. According to Abufarha, historically “[Palestinian] land in the villages was owned collectively by the village residents . . . Boundaries in the plains were marked by al-qaq, a plant that bursts out of the ground with the first grass right after the first rain in the fall, when the land is ready to be plowed, and remains for most of the year as long as there is moisture in the soil.” Al-qaq, known in English as persimmon, marks agricultural rhythms much as does the daisy in John Clare’s Eternity of Nature (ca. 1812–31):
期刊介绍：
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
