Although primarily known as an eminent historian of Russia,
Nicholas Riasanovsky has been a longtime student of European
Romanticism. In this book, Riasanovsky offers a refreshing and
appealing new interpretation of Romanticism's goals and influence.
He searches for the origins of the dazzling vision that made the
great early Romantic poets in England and Germany--Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Novalis, and Friedrich Schlegel--look at the world in a
new way. He stresses that Romanticism was produced only by Western
Christian civilization, with its unique view of humankind's
relationship to God. The Romantic's frantic and heroic striving
after unreachable goals mirrors Christian beliefs in human
inability to adequately address God, speak to God, or praise God.
Further, Riasanovsky argues that Romantic thought had important
political implications, playing a key role in the rise of
nationalism in Europe. Offering a historical examination of an area
often limited to literary analysis, this book gracefully makes a
larger historical statement about the nature and centrality of
European Romanticism.
