!!!Neuromantik

Neo-Romanticism, name for a literary movement around 1890-1915 that 
saw itself in opposition to  Naturalism and harked back to the themes 
of  Romanticism. Neo-Romantic authors had a distinct preference for 
exotic settings (Middle Ages, Italian Renaissance), for the 
miraculous, for mysterious, magical and absurd events, legends, myths 
and fairy tales; in lyrical poetry they sought formal perfection and 
sophisticated language. They drew their inspiration from  Symbolism 
and decadent poetry; they maintained close links with  Impressionism, 
fin de siècle literature and Jugendstil, which was in turn 
greatly influenced by Neo-Romanticism. Representatives of Austrian 
Neo-Romanticism were in particular H. von  Hofmannsthalin his 
early years, R. M.  Rilke, R.  Beer-Hofmann, F.  Doermann, R.  
Kralik, R. v.  Schaukal, G.  Meyrink, F.  Braun, F. K.  
Ginzkey and S.  Zweig.
