ROMANTIC DISCOVERIES OF INTELLECTUAL LANDSCAPES
CONFERENCE AT THE INSTITUTE OF GERMANIC STUDIES, LONDON
Co-Ordinators: PROFESSOR RÜDIGER GÖRNER (London/Aston) and
PROFESSOR WOLFGANG MÜLLER-FUNK (Birmingham)
UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM, THE INSTITUTE OF
GERMANIC STUDIES, LONDON AND THE UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE AUSTRIAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE, LONDON
AND THE ERSTE BANK DER OESTERREICHISCHEN SPARKASSEN AG
Rather than focusing on the early period (1795-1806), as is more usual in
studies of European Romanticism, this conference will address the ways in
which early Romantic theory translated itself into artistic, philosophical
and political practice.
