The Romantic Idea of a University - England and Germany, 1770-1850 (Hardcover)

What are universities for? Should they prepare people for careers, or expand their minds by exposing them to a broad curriculum? This book reveals that this debate is not new, but was fought nearly 200 years ago in England and Germany. In both countries, the tendency towards pre-professionalism in education was countered by romantic writers who provided their own idea of a university. Examining the role of romantic thought at universities, this book tells the stories of such key figures as Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Fichte.
