This critical literary study looks at the chief poets and philosophers of the Romantic era who, between them, forged a new cult of mystical, lyrical poetry. After a discussion of the key ideas of German Romanticism (infinity, eternity, nostalgia, mythology, Hellenism, extremity, sensuality), Appleby concentrates on the poets: from Goethe, ''the last Renaissance man'', as he is sometimes called, to the shamanic, Neoplatonic poet Novalis and his Hymen an die Nacht.
