Richards shows how the Romantic conception of the world influenced (and was influenced by) both the lives of the people who held it and the development of nineteenth-century science. Integrating Romantic literature, science, and philosophy with an intimate knowledge of the individuals involved - from Goethe and the brothers Schlegel to Humboldt and Friedrich and Caroline Schelling - Richards demonstrates how their tempestuous lives shaped their ideas as profoundly as their intellectual and cultural heritage UR - http://ezproxy.lib.gla.ac.uk/login?url=http://chicago.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.7208/chicago/9780226712185.001.0001/upso-9780226712109 ER -
