This anthology, part of a three-volume series devoted to German
aesthetic and literary criticism collects extracts from the leading
Romantic critics in Germany: Friedrich and August Schlegel, Ludwig
Tieck, Jean Pual Richter, Freidrich von Hardenberg and Lark Solger.
There are also excerpts from the writings of Goethe. The volume
provides an overview of the immensely rich literary criticism of
the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century in
Germany, which has been of seminal influence on the history of
European literary criticism. The extracts bear witness to the
enormous impact which Shakespeare had upon German intellectual life
during this period, for it was his work which served to liberate
artists and theorists alike from the norms and values of
neo-classicism. Dr Wheeler has written a substantial introduction
to the collection, explaining some of the more complex ideas
contained therein and placing the authors in a wider intellectual
context. The volume will be an especially useful textbook for
students of Romantic literature, modern literary theory and the
history of literary criticism, whether they be in departments of
English, German or comparative literature.
