Other publications include: Friedrich Schlegel and the Emergence of Romantic Philosophy (SUNY, 2007) with Bärbel Frischmann, Das neue Licht der Frühromantik/The New Light of German Romanticism (Schöningh Verlag, 2008), and several articles on the relation between German Idealism and Romanticism. Judith Norman is Professor of Philosophy at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. She has written on Nietzsche and Schopenhauer as well as early German Romanticism – most recently “The Question of Romantic Desire” in Sally Sedgwick and Dina Emundts eds., Internationales Jahrbuch des Deutschen Idealismus, vol. 13 (2018). She has translated Nietzsche for Cambridge University Press, including Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, and Ecce Homo.
