The emergence of a new theory of literature in the German Romantic
period constituted a decisive turning point in the history of
criticism. Prepared by new trends in critical thought during the
latter half of the eighteenth century, a view of the literary work
and the artistic process developed which diverged sharply from the
dominant classicist understanding of aesthetics and poetics. It
recognised the infinite changeability of genres, their constant
mingling, and the frequent emergence of new literary forms, and
asserted the rights of genius and creative imagination. It was also
characterised by its intimate connection with the prevailing
philosophy of its time, transcendental idealism. Professor Behler
provides a new account of this crucial movement, illustrating each
theoretical topic with close reference to a characteristic work by
a major writer of the period.
