Summary, Etc.  

요약The romantic tradition has long been considered incompatible with the demands of political practice. Withdrawal from society, glorification of subjective experience, aversion to compromise, fanatical attachment to group identities - the hallmarks of romantic thought are widely seen as symptoms of political dysfunction. Accordingly, political theorists as dissimilar as Hannah Arendt and William Riker have agreed that the enduring appeal of romantic concepts has had ruinous effects on politics in the past two centuries. Yet these critics have largely regarded German and British romantics as representative of romanticism more broadly, and consequently have overlooked competing developments in the same tradition. This dissertation, "Another Romanticism: Rethinking Social Criticism from Rousseau to Tolstoy", reconstructs the political thought of 19th century American and Russian romantics to uncover the constructive potential of the romantic tradition. I draw on the essays, poems, speeches, journalism, and marginalia of five authors - Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Leo Tolstoy - to argue that they transformed romantic concepts into potent rhetorical techniques to motivate social reform. Overall, this dissertation shows that the romantic tradition served as a central resource for the theory and practice of social criticism. More broadly, by highlighting the concrete interventions of romantic critics, my research challenges conventional accounts of the "apolitical" trajectory of romantic thought. Idealist aspirations and emotional appeals allowed romantics to better understand the public's reactions to political failures and to channel those reactions toward reform.
