Published in 1907, this comprehensive history of the Romantic movement in Europe from the late eighteenth through the early nineteenth centuries discusses philosophy and political economy in great detail. While Vaughan’s definition of “romantic” (as opposed to “romanticism”) —a “craving for the unfamiliar, the marvellous, the supernatural”— is controversial, his treatment of the romantic movement in France and Germany is straightforward and interesting. He also brings unlikely figures such as William Cowper, Thomas Paine, and Edmund Burke into his discussion of the movement, though they are not technically considered romantic writers.
