- Title
Jena Romanticism Revisited.
- Authors

- Abstract
While Heine's account that is both accessible and philosophically informed, seems directed at a learned and intellectually curious readership in nineteenth-century France, Wulf's book, as seen in its advertisements and media reviews, aims to appeal to a contemporary English-speaking readership more interested in personal stories than ideas and intellectual history. In the following paragraph Heine heralds the arrival of the new age of philosophy in the person of the "great Hegel, the greatest philosopher Germany has produced since Leibnitz" (Heine, 8/1, p. 113), who ultimately pushed Schelling into obscurity. Fritz made a mockery of Schiller's poems, Wilhelm resented Schiller's repeated requests for him to contribute poems to the I Musen-Almanach i , and eventually Schiller cut the cord to the Schlegel brothers. Nevertheless, Neumann's book, by foregrounding the historical and ironic sensibility of the Jena cohorts in a streamlined narrative, stands closer in terms of preciseness of expression to Heinrich Heine's spirited account of the history of German Idealism.
