Critic, poet and essayist Friedrich von Schlegel (1772 1829) was a
leading figure of German Romanticism. This 1849 collection of his
shorter works in English translation contains his key insights into
literary criticism and art theory. While his early writings had
championed classical forms and rejected modern styles, he went on
to develop distinctly Romantic aesthetics and ethics. His 1794
treatise 'On the Limits of the Beautiful' demonstrates this
philosophical transition in its effort to harmonise the elements of
beauty: 'the richness of nature, the purity of love, and the
symmetry of art'. Schlegel's other writings here apply his
developing Romantic aesthetic to Christian art, Gothic
architecture, and medieval poetry. The collection also includes the
English translation of his seminal work on comparative grammar,
Ueber die Sprache und Weisheit der Indier (1808), which is also
reissued in this series in the original German."
