Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This is clearly the most authoritative, comprehensive work on Novalis to date in English. It is unique in its convincing retracing of Novalis’s development while still offering insightful, dialectic readings of individual texts. O’Briens’s work is remarkable."—Alice Kuzniar, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
"This is the first book in English to encompass all phases of Novalis’s work in a comprehensive discussion. With a focus on Novalis’s theory of semiotics, O’Brien presents a decisive aspect of Romanticism in a novel context and an entirely new reading of the major texts that shows them to be inspired by highly astute socio-political and historiographic considerations."—Géza von Molnár, Northwestern University
