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. 608 $aElectronic books.$2lcsh 700 $aRiasanovsky$b Nicholas V$g(Nicholas Valentine),$f1923-2011.$0218878 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 801 2$bUkPrAHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458652003321 996 $aThe Emergence of Romanticism$91992401 997 $aUNINA
