Many challenged the Enlightenment's emphasis on mechanics and questioned the rising power of machines, seeking a return to the organic unity of an earlier age and triggering the artistic and philosophical movement of romanticism. Previous scholars have viewed romanticism and industrialization in opposition, but in this groundbreaking volume John Tresch reveals how thoroughly entwined science and the arts were in early nineteenth-century France and how they worked together to unite a fractured society. Focusing on a set of celebrated technologies, including steam engines, electromagnetic and geophysical instruments, early photography, and mass-scale printing, Tresch looks at how new conceptions of energy, instrumentality, and association fueled such diverse developments as fantastic literature, popular astronomy, grand opera, positivism, utopian socialism, and the Revolution of 1848. He shows that those who attempted to fuse organicism and mechanism in various ways, including Alexander von Humboldt and Auguste Comte, charted a road not taken that resonates today. Essential reading for historians of science, intellectual and cultural historians of Europe, and literary and art historians, The Romantic Machine is poised to profoundly alter our understanding of the scientific and cultural landscape of the early nineteenth century."--Provided by publisher. 000470424 588__ $$aDescription based upon print version of record. 000470424 650_0 $$aTechnology$$xSocial aspects$$zFrance$$y19th century. 000470424 650_0 $$aUtopias$$zFrance$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000470424 650_0 $$aMachinery$$xSocial aspects$$y19th century. 000470424 650_0 $$aScience$$xSocial aspects$$zFrance$$y19th century. 000470424 650_0 $$aRomanticism$$zFrance. 000470424 651_0 $$aFrance$$xHistory$$yFebruary Revolution, 1848. 000470424 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000470424 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTresch, John.$$tRomantic machine.$$dChicago : University of Chicago Press, [2012]$$z9780226812205$$w(DLC) 2011038172$$w(OCoLC)753468498 000470424 852__ $$bacq 000470424 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000470424 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=451618$$zOnline Access 000470424 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:470424$$pGLOBAL_SET 000470424 980__ $$aEBOOK 000470424 980__ $$aBIB 000470424 982__ $$aEbook 000470424 983__ $$aOnline 000470424 994__ $$a92$$bISE
