Abstract

The historical understanding of literature in German Early Romanticism arises, among other things, from the writings of Winckelmann, Herder, Lessing as well as of the dialectical interplay between classic and romantic established by Goethe and Schiller. In this context, the antithetic approximation of ancient and modern plays a central role in the determination of the major romantic theories of literature. This paper investigates and discusses the importance of the antinomy of ancient and modern in the constitution and development of literary theories of Friedrich Schlegel in German Early Romanticism.
