As this nature begins to appear “red in tooth and claw” because of its overwhelming complexity, it is categorized as being Romantically ornate or exotic. The Empire’s power to Romanticize its own nature, that is, precludes its having to deal with what its Romantic past—or present—might otherwise mean. By collecting the heterogeneous artifacts of Empire, the Crystal Palace thus encrypts its culture’s Romanticism as a knowledge about itself which that culture cannot easily assimilate. From a confrontation with Romantic heterodoxy uncannily parallel to a later Victorian complexity emerges a Victorian ambivalence about editing Romanticism.
