Often portrayed as a movement of poets lost in swells of passion, early German Romanticism has been generally overlooked by scholars in favor of the great system-builders of the post-Kantian period, Schelling and Hegel. In the twelve lectures collected here, Manfred Frank redresses this oversight, offering an in-depth exploration of the philosophical contributions and contemporary relevance of early German Romanticism. Arguing that the early German Romantics initiated an original movement away from idealism, Frank brings the leading figures of the movement, Friedrich Schlegel and Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis), into concert with contemporary philosophical developments, and explores the role that Friedrich Hölderlin and other members of the Homburg Circle had upon the development of early German Romantic philosophy.

Provides a kind of handbook to this [German Romantic] movement...All the varieties are here: magical, musical, political and aesthetic...[An] excellent translation.--TLS. "These tales are hard to find in translation and this is a thoughtful grouping...one of the great strengths of these tales is their lack of inhibition: they risk gesture, idealism, passion and freely subvert the demands of naturalism. The power of the mind is compellingly dramatized."--Literary Review. "Will be of interest to students of Romanticism and philosophy in any language. General readers may also appreciate the fiction-writing skill of these 3 authors."--Academic Library Book Review. "Ably translated."--Small Press. "A nice compilation of representative German Romantic short fiction. It is eminently suitable for general readers and for undergraduate classroom use."--Choice.

The Early Political Writings of the German Romantics contains all the essential political writings of Friedrich Schlegel, Schleiermacher and Novalis during the formative period of romantic thought (1797 to 1803). While the political thought of the German romantics has been generally recognised as important, it has been little studied, and most of the texts have been until now unavailable in English. The early romantics had an ambition still relevant to contemporary political thought: how to find a middle path between conservatism and liberalism, between an ethic of community and the freedom of the individual. Frederick C. Beiser's edition comprises all kinds of texts relevant for understanding the political ideas of the early romantic circles in Berlin and Jena - essays, lectures, aphorisms, chapters from books, and jottings from notebooks. All have been translated anew, many for the first time.
