At the end of the 18th century, while Napoleon was redrawing the map of Europe, a very different revolution—an intellectual one—took place in the quiet German town of Jena. It was here, in the heat of debate, love affairs, and creative frenzy, that the modern concept of individuality was born. The Jena Circle, which included the poets Goethe, Schiller, and Novalis; the philosophers Fichte, Hegel, and Schelling; the Schlegel brothers; and the brilliant Caroline Schlegel, proclaimed individual freedom as the highest value, created Romanticism, and placed the individual self at the center of the universe.

The distinguished historian Andrea Wulff brings to life the lives of the first Romantics and masterfully weaves philosophy into the story of personal dramas, showing how a small circle of rebels created the world we live in today—a world where our feelings, rights, and personal expression take center stage. This is a story about the dangers and beauty of being completely free.
