What is romanticism, and where did it come from? / Azade Seyhan -- From early to late romanticism / Ricarda Schmidt -- Prose fiction of the German romantics / Anthony Phelan -- The Romantic lyric / Charlie Louth -- The Romantic drama / Roger Paulin -- Forms and objectives of romantic criticism / John A. McCarthy -- Romanticism and classicism / Jane K. Brown -- Women writers and romanticism / Gesa Dane. The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw an extraordinary flowering of arts and culture in Germany which produced many of the world's finest writers, artists, philosophers, and composers. This volume introduces students and specialists to that dazzling cultural phenomenon, now known collectively as German Romanticism. All German quotations are translated to make this volume fully accessible to a wide audience interested in how Romanticism evolved across Europe. Brief biographies and bibliographies are supplemented by a list of primary and secondary further reading in both English and German. |
