'[The text] significantly expands upon the [existing] body of scholarship to argue persuasively that Crabb Robinson was the most important pioneering comparatist during the Romantic period. [...] Hunnekuhl‟s tightly-woven monograph opens the door for further inquiry into other areas of Robinson‟s early reading, writing and social interactions. [...] Future scholarship in these and other areas in the early life of one of the most important diarists and commentators on British life and thought in the nineteenth century will now be able to build upon the solid foundation laid by Philipp Hunnekuhl.'

As a student at the University of Jena at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Henry Crabb Robinson (1775-1867) became the outstanding English mediator of the revolution in German thought. For the first time, this volume collects his early writings, both published and unpublished. The contents include 'Letters on the Philosophy of Kant' and notes from F.W.J. Schelling's lectures on the philosophy of art. Further, Robinson's private lectures for Madame de Staël are presented with her marginalia. In the intellectual history of Romanticism, Robinson emerges as a major figure whose lucid and entertaining essays can still guide the modern reader through the key German texts.

The book will be of interest to students of autobiography and life writing as well as specialists in Romantic literature and Anglo-German literary relations. The book includes sections on Robinson and nineteenth-century autobiography, on the different stages of Robinson's five years in Germany, including his initial stay in Frankfurt; his personal friendships and first meeting with literary lions; his days as a Jena student and aspiring "literator"; his contacts with Weimar; and his role as a philosophical informant for Mme de Stael on her visit there; his return to England and the failure of his hopes of achieving the professional literary career that he had dreamed about in Germany. --Book Jacket.
