Abstract
One of the most crucial periods in Friedrich Schlegel's life was his first stayin Paris in the years 1802–04. In these almost two years his views underwent a remarkable transformation—the radical analyst of a preponderantly literary persuasion changed into the conservative synthesist of a more decidedly philosophical-religious cast. The glories of the past were more thoroughly explored: the German and Romance Middle Ages, Sanskrit and comparative philology, European thought and its roots in the Orient. As for the present and future, the clarion call for nationalism was sounded and the road to Catholicism sketched.
