About this book
The contents of Rousseau and Romanticism list discussions of romantic genius, romantic imagination and romantic melancholy, as well as an appendix on Chinese primitivism. The discussion of the word romantic connects its application to certain books with the predominance of fiction over reality in those books.
The text defines a romantic thing as wonderful rather than probable, explaining the distinction in terms of a departure from the normal sequence of cause and effect. The definition of classical describes something representative of a class, rather than something unique. The discussion allows a further extension of classical to something belonging to a high class or to the best class.
