This is the first book to study explicitly a central but baffling feature in Romantic writing - egotism. Drawing on Coleridge's prose and poetry, it reveals his alternating joy and retreat from self-consciousness. More than a study of Coleridge however, the book draws on a wide range of contemporary philosophical and aesthetic speculation in English and German (especially Hegel) in pursuit of a larger argument about the self in Romanticism.

The Romantics lived through a turn of the century that, like our own, seemed to mark an end to history as it had long been understood. They faced accelerated change, including unprecedented state power, armies capable of mass destruction, a polyglot imperial system, and a market economy driven by speculation. In ROMANTICISM AT THE END OF HISTORY, Jerome Christensen challenges the prevailing belief that the Romantics were reluctant to respond to social injustice. Through provocative and searching readings of the poetry of Wordsworth; the poems, criticism, and journalism of Coleridge; the Confessions of De Quincey; and Sir Walter Scott's Waverley, Christensen concludes that during complicated times of war and revolution English Romantic writers were forced to redefine their role as artists.

A detailed reading of Goethe through the posthumously published conversations recollected by Johann Peter Eckenmann. Eckermann's books are usually considered to be by Goethe, and Eckermann has since become one of Goethe's creations. 'The master of Faust and Wilhelm Meister keeps coming back. He has visited the dreams and anxieties of persons as sensitive as Kafka, Nietzsche, and Freud, speaking up in quotations or casting his shadow over poems, stories, and the birth pangs of psychoanalysis. He is a difficult case'.
