V2nd - the ecclesiastical history read

[alice wellintown]

The Romantic Aesthetic always includes, first the heretical impulse,
and then the act of heresy.  The "the human heart", as Hawthorne
describes it in his famous Preface to _The House of the Seven Gables_
beats a steady rebellion. The Romantics, be they American Scholars
following in what Whitman describes as the "parade" led by Emerson, or
French novelists complicit in the "killing of the cathedrals" with
books and the Gutenberg Press (Hugo's HND),  heresy is heresy is their
religion.
