Book "Magnificent Rebels: The first romantics and the Invention of the self" by Andrea Wulf.

"Magnificent Rebels: The first romantics and the Invention of the self" by Andrea Wulf is a fascinating exploration of the Romantic movement and the individuals who helped shape it. The book is structured around the lives and work of six key figures of the Romantic era: William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, Mary Wollstonecraft, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Clare.

Wulf argues that the Romantics were not just a group of writers and artists who were interested in expressing emotions and individuality, but rather they were a movement of rebels who challenged the social and political norms of their time. They were a generation of thinkers who were interested in exploring the concept of the self, and they believed that the self could be transformed through the power of imagination.

The book is very well-researched and beautifully written. Wulf's prose is both elegant and accessible, making the complex ideas and concepts of the Romantic movement easy to understand. She brings to life the personalities and the passions of the individuals she writes about, and she does an excellent job of contextualizing their work within the social and historical contexts of their time.

Overall, "Magnificent Rebels" is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in the Romantic movement, the history of ideas, or the development of the self in Western culture. It is a compelling and enlightening work that offers a fresh perspective on a period of history that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.

Any references to Jena?

While the book "Magnificent Rebels: The first romantics and the Invention of the self" by Andrea Wulf does not explicitly mention Jena, the city in Germany that was an important center of Romanticism, it does discuss the wider context of Romanticism and its intellectual and philosophical roots.

The book explores the influence of German Romanticism on the English Romantics, including the works of Friedrich Schiller, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Immanuel Kant, who were associated with the Jena Romantic School. Wulf also discusses the ideas of the German philosopher and poet Novalis, who was a key figure in the Jena Romantic School, and his influence on the English Romantic poets.

Overall, while Jena is not specifically mentioned in the book, its ideas and influence are certainly part of the broader context of the Romantic movement that the book explores.
