      abstract = {Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008A Half-Century  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 Ukraine-especially Dickens, Carlyle, Mill, the  Brontës, and George Eliot; Hegel, Strauss, Feuerbach, Marx,  Engels, Wagner, and several German poets; the Hungarian  poet Sándor Petöfi; 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  compromise"-the ascendancy of the middle class.The book was  reconstructed and edited by Dr. Jeffrey Wollock from Ewen's  final manuscript. It includes the author's own reference  citations throughout, a reconstructed bibliography, and an  updated "further reading" list.This is Ewen's last work,  the long-lost 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  Ewen's work a welcome addition.},
