Classicism is a philosophy of conservatism, imitation of the famous experts and mentorship whereas Romanticism is a philosophy of freedom, intuition, quest for adventure and realization of individual dreams, aspirations or imagination. Both manifested historically in Literature, Arts and Music. But nowadays, the interact of these two concepts leads to a conflict as it occurred in France during premiere of Victor Hugo's Hernani in Paris in 1830. I observed through about a decade research on Romanticism that Classicism and Romanticism are two variable factors that determine a social change. This is as a result of conflict that occurs between the classics and the romantics in all spheres of life. Collaborative research will be welcomed ; articles on this is yet to be published. Any journal on Romanticism, Literature, Comparative Literature, French Literature, German Literature , Psychoanalysis Guardian & Counseling and Adolescence?

I feel uneasy about the way in which the question is formulated. Why transfer in such a direct manner the absolutely not univocally defined concepts of cultural history to the field of social evolution and maybe politics? Doesn't such transfer introduce more ambiguities in all spheres concerned? Moreover, it seems to me that the opposition, classic in itself, between these two cultural/artistic currents or modes of expression is here ideologically distorted, unbalanced, a positive, freedom loving adventurous Romanticism contrasting with a conservative (oppressive?) Classicism, a dull and static imitation of masters. Historically, neither one was monolithic, there were reactionary Romantics and very liberal Classicists (take Voltaire for one example).
In Archaists and Innovators (1929), the Russian formalist critic Yuri Tynyanov demonstrated how in XIX century Russia some poets who were to become revolutionaries turned to traditional models from the past whereas their much more conservative opponents proved to pioneer new forms.
If so, wouldn't it be more precise to speak simply about an eternal social and political conflict between conservatists and liberals, a conflict that can be and frequently was reflected in literature & arts, and not vice versa?

Hey there,
I am currentliy Developing my subject for my graduation work (M.A. E-Learning and Media Education).
At the moment I am mostly interested in looking whether and how the live-streaming platform "twitch.tv" can be effectively used to provide education in any way, form and context.
The subject has to specified though, but the decision to work on this subject mostly depends on the question whether there are some researches and/or scientific works regarding this thematic field. My recent searches didn't provide the best results, which is why I am now trying to ask you guys for a little help or some hints.
Maybe there is someone out there, who already did some research in this thematic field and can name some important frame works, researches and articles to read or at least good websites/search engines to search for resources. Any advice and suggestion will help me.
Sorry for my not so perfect English, but I am from Germany. So german or english literature will be the easiest to work with for me.
Any questions? Feel free to ask me!
Thanks in advance.

Dear all, since there is not that much information about bilingualism and childhood aphasia in the german literature, I hope you can give me some more information. This is for a 19 year old girl who suffered a stroke at the age of eleven and who has to learn English.
kind regards,

Hi there,
thanks a lot for all these recommendations. Perhaps i should have said that I was her speech-language pathologist for about four weeks six months ago. I asked the question by order of her current speech-language pathologist.
@Reza. I was chuffed about so many papers. Unfortunately, none of these links are accessible. 
@Dibakar and Hani. Thanks for this Website and the Headway Courses. Probably education.com is rather for younger children than for a nineteen year old aphasic patient. But I am sure to select the right exercises.
@Karsten. Unfortunately, I cannot give you more Information about her lesion. As I can remember it was a mild aphasia with problems in working memory, difficulties in finding words and an articulation disorder of the postalveolar fricative (called Schetismus) which had already been treated before stroke. Duolingo seems quite helpful and i will recommend it.
thanks again,
Sandro

This line taken from Hymns to the Night interests me because of the use of Tents -- any perspectives on why he sees Tents as joyous would be of interest
Relevant answer
Answer
The large tent is an ancient metaphor for what we can feel we are enclosed within when we look up at the night sky - a metaphor for our world or universe, at least at night. When darkness descends upon our world here, or when we sink down into the holy, unspeakable and secretive night and become mixed into the ashes, light will brighten up and create joy in worlds somewhere else. When I die, someone else will be born. Compare, perhaps, Shelley's Ode to the West Wind. "O Wind, if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"
Novalis' Hymnen an die Nacht taught me the art of writing. It mesmerized me at a young age. Every word seemed perfect in its place.
