The aesthetic sphere is thus centrally connected to 'aesthetic statism', which is the theoretical project of reconciling conflicts in the political sphere by appealing to the unity of the symbol. David Kaiser traces the trajectory of aesthetic statism from Schiller and Coleridge, through Arnold, Mill and Ruskin, to Adorno and Habermas. He analyses how the concept of aesthetic autonomy shifts from being a supplement to the political sphere to an end in itself; this shift lies behind the problems that contemporary literary theory has faced in its attempts to connect the aesthetic and political spheres. Finally, he suggests that we rethink the aesthetic sphere in order to regain that connection. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Romanticism ;$v34. 517 3 $aRomanticism, Aesthetics, & Nationalism 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAesthetics, Modern 606 $aRomanticism 606 $aNationalism in literature 606 $aPolitics and literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern. 615 0$aRomanticism. 615 0$aNationalism in literature. 615 0$aPolitics and literature. 676 $a801/.93 700 $aKaiser$b David Aram$01039065 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455105403321 996 $aRomanticism, aesthetics, and nationalism$92461031 997 $aUNINA
