About Magnificent Rebels: 

From the best-selling author of The Invention of Nature comes an exhilarating story about a remarkable group of rebels who changed the way we think about ourselves and the world. Forget Paris… the real Revolution in the 1790s happened in Jena, a quiet German university town where the unlikely revolutionaries were not soldiers or politicians but poets, playwrights, literary critics, and scientists. Their collaboration launched Romanticism onto the world stage, inspiring some of the greatest poets, novelists and thinkers across the world, with their emphasis on individual experience, their description of nature as a living organism, and their insistence of the unity of humankind and nature. In Magnificent Rebels, Andrea Wulf takes us on a vivid journey through their adventures and misadventures, passionate love affairs and epic quarrels, successes and heartbreak. The French revolutionaries may have changed the political landscape, but these young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that shaped our modern world.
