Romanticism was not only heterogeneous and disunited. It also had
to face the hostile counter-movement of the Enlightenment and
Augustan Neoclassicism, still going strong at the time of and in
the decades following the French Revolution due to support from the
ruling Establishment (the ancien regime of the Crown and Church of
England). Neoclassicists regarded Romanticism as a heteretical
amalgam of dissenting new schools, which threatened the monopoly of
the Classical Tradition. The acrimonious debates in aesthetics and
politics were conducted with the traditional strategies of the
classical ars disputandi on both sides. Under the duress of the
heaviest satirical attacks, Romanticism began gradually to see
itself as one movement, giving rise to the problematic opposition
of Classical and Romantic. The construction of this rough divide,
however, was indispensable for the clarification of different
positions in the hubbub of conflicting voices, and has also proved
critical in literary and cultural studies which cannot do without
such subsumptions. The Classical Tradition, encompassing
Christianity, emerges as an ongoing event from Greek and Latin
antiquity running through to our time.
