Honour chronicles the rise of Romanticism from its late eighteenth-century origins through its explosive flowering across painting, sculpture, literature, and music in the nineteenth century, arguing that it represented a fundamental shift in how Western civilisation understood the self, nature, and the sublime. With meticulous scholarship and vivid prose, the work illustrates how artists from Delacroix and Goya to Caspar David Friedrich each grappled with emotion, imagination, and freedom in ways that still resonate today. Drawing on a vast range of European and American examples, Honour details the movement's contradictions and complexities, making a compelling case for its enduring relevance to modern thought and culture. Praised by Kenneth Clark as admirable... a book of great interest and quality, this remains one of the definitive texts on the Romantic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888008048859,"sku":"2026200009469-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/64475fe8-190f-4576-bf6c-54c3d463b817.png?v=1781752410","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009469-secondhand-romanticism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
