Drawing on a multifaceted philosophical tradition ranging from Kant to Hegel to Heidegger - incorporating as well the psychosocial analyses of Freud, Benjamin, and Adorno - Pfau develops a new understanding of the Romantic writer's voice as the formal encryption of a complex cultural condition." "Pfau focuses on three specific paradigms of emotive experience: paranoia, trauma, and melancholy. Along the trajectory of Romantic thought paranoia characterizes the disintegration of traditional models of causation and representation during the French Revolution; trauma, the radical political, cultural, and economic restructuring of Central Europe in the Napoleonic era; and melancholy, the dominant post-traumatic condition of stalled, post-Napoleonic history both in England and on the continent."
