Aesthetic
At
the center of aesthetic theory at the turn of the eighteenth
century is the semi-mystical doctrine of the symbol. For Romanticism,
indeed, the symbol becomes the panacea for all problems. Within

and the particular, the sensuous and the conceptual, material
and spiritual, order and spontaneity could be magically
resolved. Eagleton, Literary Theory
