The Birth of European Romanticism

Meer over het boek

Exploring the impact of Germaine de Staël's influential work, this analysis delves into her Romantic manifesto that offered an alternative vision to Napoleonic Europe. By transforming diverse source materials, Staël challenged the neo-Classical past and contributed to shaping the cultural landscape of the nineteenth century. Dr. Isbell examines the interplay between Classical and Romantic elements in art, philosophy, and society during a pivotal period from 1789 to 1815, revealing insights into the revolutions that forged modern Europe through Staël's perspective.
