Synopsis

This book is a history of German literature from 1791 to 1840, a dynamic time during which the conflict between German Enlightenment (upholding the ideals of the French Revolution) and the rising tide of German Romanticism dominated cultural conversations. The author traces this changing literary landscape through the works and lives of key figures like Goethe, Schiller, and Novalis and especially focuses on how the Romantics' belief in emotion, imagination, and intuition shaped the German literary canon and influenced western culture as a whole.
