Romanticism and the Philosophical Tradition edited by Thomas Constantinesco and Sophie Laniel-Musitelli
The various contributions in this collection explore the kinship and the conilicts which bind literature and art to philosophy during two major phases of Romanticism, in Germany and in England, opening passages and highlighting continuities between the philosophical ambitions and innovations of Romantic artists and the legacy of Romanticism in philosophy and literary and aesthetic theory. Each in its own way, the essays gathered hère view Romanticism as a key moment in the history of thoughtand examine how Romanticism both inherits and départs from the tradition of philosophy, from Antiquity to the Enlightenment, as much as they explore the many legacies of Romanticism in contemporary philosophical debates up to Deconstruction and beyond. Written by philosophers, literary scholars and art historians, the différent chapters not only confront British Romanticism with its German counterpart, in an effort to reconfigure our understanding of thèse two national « moments » in the history of Romanticism, but they also work at the crossroads of several disciplines, true to the inaugural spirit of Romanticism, at a time when generic and institutional boundaries were challenged and largely redrawn, and when art, literature and philosophy as we still know them today first emerged.
