| Summary |
"Deutsche Romantik: Eine Skizze" by Oskar F. Walzel is a scholarly exploration of German Romanticism written in the early 20th century. This treatise offers an analysis of the philosophical and cultural movements within the Romantic period, particularly focusing on various theorists and their contributions to literature and thought. Walzel aims to illuminate the connections between early Romantic ideas and later developments, presenting an overview that engages both the layperson and those familiar with the field. The opening of the work establishes the context for its analysis, addressing the role of German Romanticism in response to the intellectual currents of the Sturm und Drang period. Walzel mentions key figures such as Friedrich Schlegel and other Romantics, explaining the philosophical underpinnings that differentiate Romantic thought from previous literary movements. He emphasizes the complex interplay between emotion, reason, and artistic expression, setting the stage for a deeper examination of the Romantic movement's ethos and its lasting impact on German culture and literature.
