The poetics of the history of the first German romanticism

Abstract

This essay examines the fundamentals of the poetics of the constellation of thinkers, commonly classified in the history of thought and literature within the so-called Frühromantik or first German romanticism. It’s analyzing the poetical-productive process articulated within the poetry of the first romanticism; poetic whose theoretical or speculative nature takes us back, from the outset, to search for the limits of a foundation in place of the modern discovery of a reflexive knowledge. In all cases, the principle adopted by the thinkers of the first romanticism of Friedrich von Hardenberg at Friedrich Hölderlin, Friedrich Schlegel Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, passes through the recognition of autonomy of the subject as starting point for the building of any theory. We can understand why one of the defining features of romantic poetry consists of its affiliation with the philosophy of art or aesthetics, which implies the recognition of an autonomous area of their objects of study legitimized from critical, activity without losing sight of both the historical context as its effects throughout the thought.
