BIBLIOGRAPHY

The principal texts have been reproduced in German by
J. Baxa, Gesellschaft und Staat im Spiegel deutscher
Romantik (Jena, 1924); in English by H. S. Reiss, The Politi-
cal Thought of the German Romantics 1793-1815 (Oxford,
1955); in French by J. Droz, Le romantisme politique en
Allemagne (Paris, 1963).

About political romanticism, besides the analyses of F.
Meinecke in Weltbürgertum und Nationalstaat (Munich,
1909), cf. P. Kluckhohn, Persönlichkeit und Gemeinschaft:

208

Studien zur Staatsauffassung der deutschen Romantik (Halle,
1925); Crane Brinton, Political Ideas of the English Roman-
ticists (Oxford, 1926); and J. Droz, Le Romantisme allemand
et l'État: Résistance et collaboration dans l'Allemagne
napoléonienne (Paris, 1966). The best detailed study is by
R. Aris, Die Staatslehre Adam Müllers und ihr Verhältnis
zur deutschen Romantik (Tübingen, 1929).
