This well-preserved copy of Ayn Rand’s “The Romantic Manifesto” offers a fascinating glimpse into the philosophical underpinnings of the author’s controversial Objectivist worldview. Published in 1971, this revised edition encapsulates Rand’s thoughts on the role of art and literature in advancing her ideals of reason, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism. As a leading proponent of Romantic Realism, Rand championed the portrayal of an ideal world, one in which heroic individuals pursue their rational self-interest without compromise. This volume, a collection of essays and excerpts from her novels, serves as a manifesto for her artistic vision, providing invaluable context for understanding her influential yet divisive body of work. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate the opportunity to delve into Rand’s provocative perspectives on aesthetics, ethics, and the purpose of art in shaping a rational society.
