Key features of Romanticism Reaction against the Enlightenment and scientific method Idealised view of nature Emphasis on local identity Emphasis on the power of the human imagination and the idea of genius Emphasis on subjectivity rather than objectivity

Friedrich Schlegel ( ) Romantic poetry: is “progressive universal poetry” will reunite “poetry with philosophy” may “soar on the wings of poetic reflection”

Immanuel Kant ( ) Humans do not perceive “things in themselves” Humans perceive subjective representations (Vorstellungen) of external objects Subjectivity plays an active role in shaping our internal representations of the world

French Neo-Classicism Molière ( ), Corneille ( ), Racine ( ) Unities of classical drama: taken from Aristotle (unity of action, unity of time, unity of place). Form, beauty, appropriateness, clear outlines Idea of mimesis: copying scenes from the Classical world

Jacques-Louis David ( ): “La Mort de Socrates” (The Death of Socrates, 1787).

Caspar David Friedrich: “Der Mönch am Meer” (The Monk by the Sea, 1810)

Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) Circa ; “Pre-Romanticism”; Emphasis on local, rural, “authentic” German identity; Relationship between language, landscape and culture; pantheism Key figures: Johann Gottfried Herder ( ); Johann Wolfgang Goethe ( ).
