European Romanticism : Literary Societies, Poets, and Poetry

European Romanticism documents the cultural contributions of Germany, France, Spain, and England by focusing on literary groups, famous poets, lyric poetry, and the creative-imaginative writings on theory and aesthetics. This book examines historical, original, and scholarly writings, detailing specifics gathered from the salons, journals, newspapers, periodicals, and critical commentary to present a comprehensive discussion of the comparative view of the literary-poetic schools, manifestos, poets, and poems, with perspectives on how the Romantics viewed themselves and their creativity.
