It brings researchers from philosophy, aesthetics, and literary studies into dialogue around key writers like F. W. J. Schelling, Novalis, and the Schlegel brothers, and pushes back against some of the conventional formalist and psychologizing frameworks through which Romanticism has been viewed traditionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, these contributions develop a picture of Romanticism as not only having aimed to ‘represent’ things conceptually or linguistically, but as capable of acting on, existing within, and indeed participating in processes of worldmaking. The resulting image is of a Romanticism pushing at the boundaries of materialist and idealist conceptualizations of the real in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contributions fall along two main axes, represented by two sections and an afterword. The first section addresses Schelling directly and explores the potential of his philosophy for literary and aesthetic theory. The second section brings Schelling into dialogue with literary practices around 1800 to address broader ramifications for our understanding of authors like Novalis, Hoffmann, Coleridge, and Droste-Hülshoff. It also seeks to establish the contemporary viability of Schelling’s thought and its long-overlooked cultural ramifications, including in contemporary environmental thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRomantic Realisms: Speculative Reconfigurations of Literature, Philosophy, and Science in German Romanticism\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fresh perspective by examining the active and participatory role of Romanticism in shaping the real world, both in its time and through its ongoing influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397989613804,"sku":"9781805966784","price":489.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27682143482830.jpg?v=1773734398"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-romantic-reconfigurations-studies-in-literature-and-culture-1780-1850.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
