What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani approaches the romantic from three angles. With Hegel, he places it in the succession of art forms: in symbolic art, content seeks its form; in classical art, it finds it; in romantic art, it goes beyond it1. Spirit that knows itself no longer finds a form that matches its depth, and he sees this as the origin of the dissatisfaction of the moderns2. On the historical level, he describes Romanticism as the generation in which everyone starts from themselves. In his view, this movement goes out of fashion in the middle of the century3. He sees proof of this in Nerval, who apologises in Angélique for being lyrical4. Finally, he points out that the word first appears in French in Rousseau. There it refers to a wild way of laying out gardens, as opposed to the French formal garden5.
