This work "explores the philosophical origins of literary theory via the tradition of German philosophy that began with the Romantic reactions to Kant. It traces the continuation of the Romantic tradition of Novalis, Friedrich Schlegel and Schleiermacher, in Heidegger's approaches to art and truth, and in the Critical Theory of Benjamin and Adorno."
