First published in 1969, this work traces the evolution of Romanticism and in doing so, demonstrates its novelty as an imaginative and emotional perception of the world in contrast to the rationalistic approach which was dominant in the seventeenth century. It identifies the fundamental similarities between Romantic writing in England, France and Germany as well as their differences brought about by divergent literary and social backgrounds. The book is concluded by a review of the problems that arise from a simple definition of Romanticism.

متن با توجه به این‌که تنها کمتر از بیست سال بعد از جنگ جهانی دوم نوشته شده هم‌چنان در حال تسویه حساب با آلمان نازی هست. پیش از این خیال می‌کردم نخوت انگلیسی جاری توی کتاب سرچشمه‌ش همون روح انگلیسی، چنان‌که افتد و دانی، هست؛ اما سرکی کشیدم به زندگی نویسنده‌ش و معلوم شد نویسنده متولد وین هست؛ در سال 1939 با ورود آلمان نازی به اتریش با والدینش ازین کشور فرار می‌کنن و خوب طبیعی هست که نویسنده راست و چپ مشغول پوک (انگول) کردن رمانتیک‌های آلمان باشه
...

با نخوندنش اتفاق خاصی نمی‌افته

مختصر و مفید با تکیه بر این که تعریفی دقیق و یکسان درباره رمانتیسم وجود ندارد!

تک‌نگاری‌ای در بابِ رمانتیسم و بیش‌تر از آن رمانتیک‌ها. کتابی که می‌توانست خیلی به‌تر از اینی که هست، باشد. کتابی که پیش‌نیازِ سترگی می‌طلبد، احاطه‌ی کامل به جریان‌های ادبیِ اروپا، خاصّه اروپای قرنِ ١٨ به بعد. مؤلّفْ نثری کاملاً جانب‌دارانه دارد نسبت به انگلستان و انگیسی‌ها و این از ارزش‌های عِلمیِ این کتاب که از اقتضائاتِ اصلی‌اش است، کم می‌کند. ترجمه‌ هم متوسّط بود.‏

A very basic introduction to 'Romanticism', which does exactly what I hoped it would do. Briefly running through the biggest names in Romanticism, as well as the Romantic movements across European literature, this is a must-read for any English Literature students who are desperate to know exactly what Romanticism *is*.

Obviously outdated, but a very strong and comprehensive study: in a very short space, the author presents material from across Europe, with many direct passages, which is a bit rare nowadays. Worth a look as a beginner's guide.
