Text of Note
The emergence of a new theory of literature in the German Romantic period constituted a decisive turning-point in the history of criticism. Prepared by new trends in critical thought during the latter half of the eighteenth century, a view of the literary work and the artistic process developed which diverged sharply from the dominant classicist understanding of aesthetics and poetics. It recognized the infinite changeability of genres, their constant mingling, and the frequent emergence of new literary forms, and asserted the rights of genius and creative imagination. It was also characterized by its intimate connection with the prevailing philosophy of its time, transcendental idealism.
