Shakespeare, romantic criticism, ancient regimeAbstract
This essay intends to show why, at the end of 18th century, Shakespearean plays were so useful to the German romantic literary criticism, which was opposed to French classicism as a hegemonic regime of taste and rule of art. This cultural dispute must also be understood as a literary expression of social criticism against the German nobility’s values and its regime of social distinction. From this cultural dispute arose a new conception of Shakespeare’s works that is the object of my critical review.Downloads
