Menhennet traces the main strands of thought and interest that preoccupy the Romantic writers: the revolutionary attitude that is differentiated from that of writers like Byron by the lack of emphasis on individualism; the dualism of the bourgeois world and the "inner self;" the interest in language as an agency for the regeneration of the German spirit; and the concentration on folk themes and the idea of Wanderung.
