Romanticism, the cultural movement from the 19th century is one of my favourite movements in art, music and obviously, literature. I would like to know what you all think about this movement, and what are your favourite o most hated books from this era. ,':^)!

The Romantic conception of science gets short shrift. There's a good book about it. It's called 'The Romantic Conception of Life: Science and Philosophy in the Age of Goethe.'

>"All art should become science and all science art; poetry and philosophy should be made one." Friedrich Schlegel’s words perfectly capture the project of the German Romantics, who believed that the aesthetic approaches of art and literature could reveal patterns and meaning in nature that couldn’t be uncovered through rationalistic philosophy and science alone.

I feel like a biography of Byron would be useful, the man's life basically WAS Romanticism, its essence lived out by a human being.

Was Schopenhauer right about Byron? Was it really all about the cast of his mind?

>rack up huge amounts of debt living an extravagant lifestyle
>don't ever pay any of it off, just keep racking up more and more debt and keep getting more and more credit
>when it finally gets too much and the bills come due, stiff your creditors by fleeing the country and living an even more lavish life of "exile" in Europe

I wonder if it would still be possible to pull this off. Probably not, given how international banking and finance has become.
