Mythology in Romantic Philosophy and Literature


Return of the Gods

In this wide-ranging study, Owen Ware argues that the romantics across Germany and Britain turned to mythology for its potential to transform how we see ourselves, others, and the world.


"Owen Ware's interpretation of the complex texts of the romantic era is rich with literary as well as philosophical insights. It succeeds magnificently in its objective of showing how deeply intertwined the traditions of British and German romanticism were at the turn of the nineteenth century. For readers of all kinds seeking a concise account of the philosophical significance of early romanticism, Ware’s lucid and well-researched book is an invaluable guide.”—Karl Ameriks, University of Notre Dame
