Addresses the Romantic reception of mystic Jakob Bohme.
Paola Mayer is associate professor of European studies and German at the University of Guelph and author of Jena Romanticism and Its Appropriation of Jakob Böhme: Theosophy, Hagiography, Literature.
"There has been frequent comment on the importance of Bohme in the development of romantic thought in Germany, and there have indeed been studies on that influence with regard to individual romantic authors. Jena Romanticism and Its Appropriation of Jakob Bohme is the first comprehensive study of that influence as it regards the Jena romantics taken together." James McGlathery, Department of Germanic Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana. "Jena Romanticism and Its Appropriation of Jakob Bohme is significant not only because the story of Bohme's influence will henceforth have to be told differently, but also because we will have to think differently about some of the strategies of the Jena Romantics and the way their philosophies developed ... the patience and the acumen with which [Mayer] plowed through Bohme's and Schelling's obscurities are as admirable as the clarity of her explications." Hans Eichner, Professor Emeritus of University of Toronto.
