Sturm Und Drang a Precursor to the Emergence of ‘The Man of Agency’ In English Romanticism

Öz

The Romantic Movement in English Literature, literary scholars generally overlook the fact that English Romanticism takes its roots in German Literature, mostly from a specific movement deemed as anti-Rationalism and focused on the value of emotions to the point of irrationalism. This pre-romantic movement known as Sturm und Drang, similar to English Romanticism, urges society to go back to their nature and their human core by way of embracing their emotions. Within the scope of German Literature, specifically in Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther, one can see these elements of the Sturm und Drang, yet related to another concept coined as Kraftmensch. English Romanticism, mostly, deals with the positive emotions of human nature whereas in the Sturm und Drang the focus of the authors is dealing with negative emotions of human nature. Furthermore, it is safe to say that both English and German literature’s Romantic Movements, though by different methods, urge people to go back to their core as a way of reuniting with nature itself to experience the sublime (in terms of Edmund Burke and the Kantian Sublime) rather than lose their nature by being confined by pure science of the rationalist perspective neglecting their emotional self. Namely, while the main focus of English Romanticism is love and beauty, Sturm und Drang focuses on chaos and death. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss and highlight the emergence of English Romanticism and place elements of the German Sturm und Drang Movement as its precursor whilst using the primary romantic novel of English literature: Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein.
