And a lovely review in History Today

“Drawn from meticulously detailed research in diaries, correspondence and literary works, Wulf weaves the stories of these individuals together, showing (sometimes exactly – there are maps) where their paths crossed and how these individuals rubbed off on each other … Magnificent Rebels is an engaging introduction to the historical background, philosophical novelties and dramatis personae of the early Romantic movement, yet it also offers something new to those more familiar with it … It is details such as this that bring Wulf’s story of the ‘Jena Set’ – their lives and legacy – so vividly to life.” – History Today
