This essay is presenting the avant-gardism of English, German and American romanticism from an ecocritical perspective in combination with the social-philosophical theory of sociologist Hartmut Rosa. By advocating a new human – non-human relationship, the romantics intended to overcome this dualism established by European modernity. The romantic subject is characterized by a deep interiority linked to the aesthetic-affective experience of nature, which sustains the subject’s identity. Excerpts from essays, stories and poems by English, German and American romantics exemplify their literary search for a new, resonant correspondence between the natural world and human beings. We come to the conclusion that the literary resonances of historical romanticism are influential and have merit to this day.
