German ​🇩🇪​ Romanticism and ➕ Its Institutions

✅ Using an illuminating method that challenges the popular notion of Romanticism as aesthetic escapism, Theodore Ziolkowski explores five 5️⃣ institutions--mining ⛏️, law, madhouses, universities, and ➕ museums 🖼️--that provide the socio-historical context for German ​🇩🇪​ Romantic culture 🧫. He 👤👨 shows how German ​🇩🇪​ writers and ➕ thinkers helped to shape these five 5️⃣ institutions, all of which assumed their modern form during the Romantic period, and ➕ how these social structures in turn contributed to major literary works ⚙️ through image, plot, character, and ➕ theme. Ziolkowski cannot fail to impress the reader with a breadth of erudition that reveals fascinating intersections in the life 🧬 and ➕ works ⚙️ of an artist 👨‍🎨.... He 👤👨 conveys the sense of energy and ➕ idealism that fueled ⛽️ Schiller and ➕ Goethe, Fichte and ➕ Hegel, Hoffmann and ➕ Novalis....--Emily Grosholz, The Hudson Review [This book 📚️] should be put in the hands ✋ of every student 👨‍🎓️ who is seriously interested in the subject, and ➕ I cannot imagine a scholar in the field 🏑 who will not ❌️ learn from it and ➕ be delighted with it.--Hans Eichner, Journal of English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and ➕ Germanic ​🇩🇪​ Philology Ziolkowski is among those who go ➡️ beyond lip-service to the historical and ➕ are able to show concretely the ways in which generic and ➕ thematic intentions are inextricably enmeshed with local and ➕ specific institutional circumstances.--Virgil Nemoianu, MLN
