Imagination in German Romanticism

Exploring the intersection of imagination and environment, this study delves into German Romanticism's critique of rationalism through literary and philosophical texts. It highlights the works of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Novalis, and Tieck, emphasizing writing as a memory experiment. Employing Foucault's archaeological approach alongside psychoanalysis and literary theory, the book examines the relationship between Kantian epistemology and Romantic nature philosophy, portraying Romanticism as a reflection of complex modern identity.
