In this book, Riasanovsky offers a refreshing and appealing new interpretation of Romanticism's goals and influence. He searches for the origins of the dazzling vision that made the great early Romantic poets in England and Germany--Wordsworth, Coleridge, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel--look at the world in a new way. He stresses that Romanticism was produced only by Western Christian civilization, with its unique view of humankind's relationship to God. The Romantic's frantic and heroic striving after unreachable goals mirrors Christian beliefs in human inability to adequately address God, speak to God, or praise God. Further, Riasanovsky argues that Romantic thought had important political implications, playing a key role in the rise of nationalism in Europe. Offering a historical examination of an area often limited to literary analysis, this book gracefully makes a larger historical statement about the nature and centrality of European Romanticism.English literature18th centuryHistory and criticismRomanticismGreat BritainHistory18th centuryGerman literature18th centuryHistory and criticismComparative literatureEnglish and GermanComparative literatureGerman and EnglishEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.RomanticismHistoryGerman literatureHistory and criticism.Comparative literatureEnglish and German.Comparative literatureGerman and English.820.9/145Riasanovsky Nicholas V(Nicholas Valentine),1923-2011,218878MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815579103321The emergence of romanticism3975845UNINA
