This 2002 volume brings together major works by German thinkers, writing just prior to and after Kant, who were enormously influential in this crucial period of aesthetics. These texts include the first translation into English of Schiller's Kallias Letters and Moritz's On the Artistic Imitation of the Beautiful, together with translations of some of Hölderlin's most important theoretical writings and works by Hamann, Lessing, Novalis and Schlegel. In a philosophical introduction J. M. Bernstein traces the development of aesthetics from its still rationalist and mimetic construction in Lessing, through the optimistic construal of art and/or beauty as the appearance of human freedom in the work of Schiller, to Hölderlin's darker vision of art as the memory of a lost unity, and the variations of that theme - of an impossible striving after the lost ideal - which are found in the work of Schlegel and Novalis.

Zum ersten Mal wird eine umfassende Gesamtdarstellung der Geschichte der von Achim von Arnim (1781-1831) gegründeten und von 1811 bis mindestens 1834 bestehenden deutschen Tischgesellschaft vorgelegt. Zur Erfindung der deutschen Nation hat dieser Berliner Verein entscheidendes beigetragen : prominente Vertreter der führenden Gesellschaftskreise vereinten sich in einer christlich-deutschen, preußisch- und deutsch-nationalistischen Ideologie, Frauen und Juden waren ausgeschlossen. Die überlieferten Tischreden zeugen von einem bedeutenden Kulturprogramm, mit welchem Arnim und Clemens Brentano ihre schon mit dem "Wunderhorn" begonnene Politisierung der Ästhetik fortsetzten.
