Gregory Maertz has written extensively on Romantic and Modern
literature, art, and ideas. In these nine related essays, he
investigates the expression of Romanticism in literature,
philosophy, and cultural politics from the Renaissance to
Modernism. The comparative essays in Part One examine the affinity
between the religious logic of Sir Thomas Browne and Søren
Kierkegaard; Tolstoys enduring attraction to Schopenhauers thought;
Rilkes debts to the sculptor Rodin; the identification of an early
novel by William Godwin as the chief precursor text to Mary
Shelleys Frankenstein; and the corresponding literary projects of
Osip Mandelstam, Rilke, and David Jones. In Part Two the essays are
clustered around the literary activity of writers and philosophers
associated with radicalism in Britain and transcendentalism in
America: a reconsideration of the life of William Godwin; the
central role played by English radicals in the transmission of
German literature; Godwins innovations in travel fiction; and the
crystallization of authorial identity around the influence of
Goethe in the work of women writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft,
Margaret Fuller, and George Eliot.
