In \u003ci\u003eRomanticism Against the Tide of Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e Michael Löwy and Robert Sayre formulate a theory that defines romanticism as a cultural protest against modern bourgeois industrial civilization and work to reveal the unity that underlies the extraordinary diversity of romanticism from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. \u003cbr\u003e\t After critiquing previous conceptions of romanticism and discussing its first European manifestations, Löwy and Sayre propose a typology of the sociopolitical positions held by romantic writers-from \"restitutionist\" to various revolutionary\/utopian forms. In subsequent chapters, they give extended treatment to writers as diverse as Coleridge and Ruskin, Charles Peguy, Ernst Bloch and Christa Wolf. Among other topics, they discuss the complex relationship between Marxism and romanticism before closing with a reflection on more contemporary manifestations of romanticism (for example, surrealism, the events of May 1968, and the ecological movement) as well as its future.\u003cbr\u003e\tStudents and scholars of literature, humanities, social sciences, and cultural studies will be interested in this elegant and thoroughly original book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom reviews of the French edition: \u003cbr\u003e\"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 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"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)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Löwy is Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Lecturer at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Sayre is Professor of Anglophone Literatures at the University of Marne-la-Vallée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9.22 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45762757132485,"sku":"9780822327943","price":56.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/qHibX42_7X9780822327943_81f1134c-079a-4d84-bb8e-d0c342b134d9.webp?v=1770357370","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/romanticism-against-the-tide-of-modernity-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
