Eichendorffs Kritik romantischer FehlentwicklungenHesse, Angelika 11 1900 (has links)
Summary in English / Romanticism as a broad movement of thought developed
as a reaction against rationalism and empiricism in the period
of Enlightenment. In his critical evaluation of Getman
literature Eichendorff as a historian exammes the
excessiveness of esoteric theories in the work of the young
intellectuals of the early romantic period in Getmany. The
romanticists' idealist celebration of the self, and their tendency
to overestimate the power of the imagination and the supreme
value of art led to self-adulation and subjectivism which was
unacceptable to Eichendorff s understanding of art and
religion. The "romantic" attempt at creating a new mythology
usmg art as a new kind of religion and thereby making the
poet an omnipotent creator could only be rejected by
Eichendorff whose moral convictions were strongly based on
Christian Catholic beliefs. The young romanticists replaced
ethics with aesthetics. Eichendorffs judgement of this
development is devastating. He describes the early romantic
movement as a "premature abortion". / Classics and Modern European Languages / M.A. (German)
