- Abstract
This paper aims at analysing the perspectives of A. W. Schlegel's famous work Lectures on Dramatic Art. With the advent of science, literary artists and professors began to write the principles of writing and an urgency to work it out in an objective and scientific manner. Schlegel aims at tracing the way poetic styles shifted from classicism to Romanticism during the 19th century. European writing came under the influence of the Greeks and Latin works, later took influences from Christianised writings of various nations in Europe, inspired by Shakespeare's writings that broke away from the Greek and Latin model and again met with the Sanskrit texts from India. A great transformation took place amalgamating all these varied influences into a new type of writing, later termed as 'romantic' in nature.
