About this book
Main Currents in Nineteenth Century Literature - 2. The Romantic School in Germany has contents covering Romanticism, music, art, nature and politics. The discussion of Novalis and Schleiermacher describes their early mixture of pantheism and pietism and their movement towards orthodoxy. The account of Schleiermacher says that he recants in later life the Letters on Lucinde written with youthful enthusiasm.
The account of Clemens Brentano contrasts his youthful opposition to convention with work recording the sayings of Anna Katharina Emmerich. A critical discussion describes a writer whose weak feeling for natural beauty accompanies an intense enthusiasm for art, which occupies half his productions.
