Dialectic of Romanticism presents a radical new assessment of the aesthetic and philosophical history and future of modernity. An exploration of the internal critique of modernism treats romanticism (later historicism and postmodernism) as central to the development of European modernism alongside enlightenment, and, like the enlightenment, subject to its own deadends and fatalities. An external critique of modernism recovers concepts of civilization and civic aesthetics which are transhistorical simultaneously modern and classically inspired and provides a counter both to romantic historicism and enlightened models of progress. Finally, a retrospective critique of modernism analyses what happens to modernisms romanticarchaic and technologicalfuturist visions when they are translated from Europe to America. Dialectic of Romanticism argues that out of the European dialectic of romanticism and enlightenment a new dialectic of modernity is emerging in the New Worldone which points beyond modernism and postmodernism.
