Die Alltägliche Romantik

de Walter Pape, Roswitha Burwick

"Examining the role of everyday life for art and in art opens a new perspective on the Romantic era's supposed struggle against the banalization of art. According to Pierre Bourdieu, everyday life and art face each other like the sacred and the profane. This volume examines the "lifeworld" and art, craft and conviviality, letters and the experiences of war, illness and food, as literary and artistic themes as realities of everyday life." --
