Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008A HalfCentury of Greatness paints a vivid and dramatic picture of the creative thought of mid to late nineteenth century Europe and the influence of the unsuccessful revolutions of 1848. It reveals often unexpected links between novelists, poets, and philosophers from England, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and Ukraineespecially Dickens, Carlyle, Mill, the Bronts, and George Eliot; Hegel, Strauss, Feuerbach, Marx, Engels, Wagner, and several German poets; the Hungarian poet Sndor Petfi; Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bakunin, and Herzen in Russia, and the great Ukrainian poet Shevchenko. Ewen goes on to trace the transition from Romanticism to Victorianism, or what he calls the Victorian compromisethe ascendancy of the middle class.The book was reconstructed and edited by Dr. Jeffrey Wollock from Ewens final manuscript. It includes the author's own reference citations throughout, a reconstructed bibliography, and an updated further reading list.This is Ewens last work, the longlost companion to his Heroic Imagination. Together, these books present a panorama of the social, political, and artistic aspects of European Romanticism, especially foreshadowing and complementing recent work on the relation of Marxism to romanticism. Anyone interested in what Lukacs called Romantic anticapitalism,; who appreciates such books as Marshall Berman's Adventures in Marxism or E.P. Thompson's The Romantics (1997), will find Ewens work a welcome addition.
