This work by Rudolf Bach deals with the Romantic era, which he defines as spanning the period from the beginning of the French Revolution until Goethe’s death, or rather, until 1848. Bach describes in detail how Romanticism emerged from Classicism and how Classical thinkers responded to this new intellectual movement. Other topics include the tragically early deaths of many Romantic artists (such as Novalis and Philipp Otto Runge), the exceptional achievements of the Romantics, and Romantic music. Bach concludes with a hymn to this era, for “even if Romanticism itself was unable to create a myth, it has nevertheless, as only true, historical forces can, become a myth itself […]” (p. 142).
