Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity by Michael Lwy
Romanticism is a worldview that finds expression over a whole range of cultural fields - not only in literature and art but in philosophy, theology, political theory, and social movements. This book formulates a theory that defines romanticism as a cultural protest against modern bourgeois industrial civilization.
From reviews of the French edition: "Instead of exploiting the cliches of melancholy, of exhibitionism, and of the langorous ego, Robert Sayre and Michael Lowy follow the path of rebellion"--Roland Jaccard, Le Monde "This beautiful and generous book ... is a marvelous utopian oasis shining on the horizon of the desert of banality and perplexity where we have been lost."--Isabel Maria Loureiro, Em Tempo (Brazil)
Michael LÖwy is Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Lecturer at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales.
Robert Sayre is Professor of Anglophone Literatures at the University of Marne-la-VallÉe.
