Abstract:
The study studies mostly lyric forms as
imaginative
encryptions of Romanticism’s changing
political, economic,
and cultural conditions. The study
correlates paranoia,
trauma, and melancholy with discrete phases
of British and
German Romanticism. Figures central to the
study include
Burke, Godwin, Wordsworth, and Keats in
England, as well as
Kant, Hegel, Joseph von Eichendorff, and
Heinrich Heine in
Germany.
