From Enlightenment to Romanticism: Anthology, Part 2Ian L. Donnachie, Carmen Lavin This is the first of two anthologies designed to accompany the Open University course From Enlightenment to Romanticism, an interdisciplinary exploration of the changes and transitions in European culture between c. 1780 and 1830. The collection of extracts in this anthology provides primary sources on the death of the Old Regime, the Napoleonic phenomenon, slavery, religion and reform. Each selection is accompanied by a detailed introduction explaining the context and significance of the sources. Extracts in the anthology stimulate questions rather than provide reassuring answers, and offer vital insights into the major events, movements and personalities of the time. This volume provides an invaluable resource for all students of European culture in the period. A companion volume offers readings on industry and changing landscapes, new forms of knowledge, new conceptions of art and the artist, and the exotic and the Oriental. Book jacket. |
