Exploring the experiments in individual and national
self-consciousness conducted during the Romantic period, this
essential comparative study of European literature, philosophy and
politics makes original and often surprising connections and
contrasts to reveal how personal and social identities were
re-orientated and disorientated from the French Revolution onwards.
Reviving a contested moment in the history of aesthetic theory,
this study shows how the growing awareness of irresolution in
Kant's third Kritik allowed Romantic writers to put the aesthetic
to radical uses not envisaged by its parent philosophy. It also
recounts how they would go on to force philosophy to revise
received notions of authority, empowering women and subordinated
ethnic groups to re-orientate existing hierarchies. The sheer range
and variety of writers covered is testament both to the breadth of
writing that Kant's philosophy so rashly legitimated and to the
wider importance of philosophy to the understanding of Romantic
literature.
