Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

-I am happy to see that serious work is again being done in literary history, and ..."Diehards and Innovators" ...will prove very valuable to undergraduates and graduate students, and faculty members.- (Leon-Francois Hoffmann, Princeton University)
-... it is because Comeau so clearly reveals the political as well as the aesthetic stakes involved in the bid to define and illustrate the principles of the so-called 'new school of literature' that his work deserves to be read. (...) (Readers) will be rewarded ... by what they learn of the long and complicated process by which Romanticism ... earned a place of prominence on the French literary and theatrical scene.- (B.T.Cooper, Nineteenth Century French Studies)

Reseña del editor:

This work is an attempt to reveal to the English-speaking reader the development of the French brand of Romanticism. The 30-year surge toward a new aesthetic involved a complex series of actions and reactions by groups and individuals which has fascinated philosophers, historians and literary critics because political bias created strange allegiances and pronouncements. The classical diehards sought to define romanticism in order to oppose it, and the romantic innovators pursued the same goal in order to understand it and provide illustrations of it. Since many theoretical statements and creative works were reproduced and reviewed in the magazines and newspapers of the day, this book especially focuses on the major periodicals to describe the quest for aesthetic freedom.
