This book investigates intersections between the philosophy of
nature and Hellenism in British and German Romanticism, focusing
primarily on five central literary/philosophical figures: Friedrich
Schelling, Friedrich Hoelderlin, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Percy
Shelley, and Lord Byron. Near the end of the eighteenth century,
poets and thinkers reinvented Greece as a site of aesthetic and
ontological wholeness, a move that corresponded with a refiguring
of nature as a dynamically interconnected web in which each part is
linked to the living whole. This vision of a vibrant materiality
that allows us to become "one with all that lives," along with a
Romantic version of Hellenism that wished to reassemble the broken
fragments of an imaginary Greece as both site and symbol of this
all-unity, functioned as a two-pronged response to subjective
anxiety that arose in the wake of Kant and Fichte. The result is a
form of resistance to an idealism that appeared to leave little
room for a world of beauty, love, and nature beyond the self.
