Abstract

A synthesis of Goethe’s idea of antiquity and of its meaning within the tension between Classicism and Romanticism in early 19th-century Germany, a literary but also political tension. Goethe’s reference to the Antike – it is argued – is indubitably conservative, but not regressive: rather anti-reactionary.
