商品简介 Using an illuminating method that challenges the popular notion of Romanticism as aesthetic escapism, Theodore Ziolkowski explores five 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 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 西奥多·齐奥尔科夫斯基采用一种富有启发性的方法,挑战浪漫主义作为审美逃避现实的流行观念,探索了五个机构——采矿、法律、疯人院、大学和博物馆——它们为德国浪漫主义文化提供了社会历史背景。他展示了德国作家和思想家如何帮助塑造这五个机构,所有这些机构都在浪漫主义时期呈现出现代形式,以及这些社会结构如何通过形象、情节、人物和主题反过来对主要文学作品做出了贡献。 “齐奥尔科夫斯基一定会以博学的广度给读者留下深刻的印象,揭示了一位艺术家的生活和作品中令人着迷的交叉点……他传达了推动席勒和歌德、费希特和黑格尔、霍夫曼和诺瓦利斯的能量和理想主义意识。 ....”——艾米丽·格罗霍尔茨,《哈德逊评论》并对此感到高兴。”——汉斯·艾希纳,《英语和日耳曼语言学杂志》当地和具体的制度环境。”——Virgil Nemoianu,MLN
