However, I argue that not all literary works written at the time of the Holy Alliance bespeak disillusionment and denigrate maturity. On the contrary, the examples of the three authors who came of age in the wake of the Napoleonic wars---Byron, Pushkin, and Stendhal---attest to the importance of the literary art in the rethinking of "maturity" in Restoration Europe.

520 # $a However, I argue that not all literary works written at the time of the Holy Alliance bespeak disillusionment and denigrate maturity. On the contrary, the examples of the three authors who came of age in the wake of the Napoleonic wars---Byron, Pushkin, and Stendhal---attest to the importance of the literary art in the rethinking of "maturity" in Restoration Europe.
520 # $a In recent decades scholars have demonstrated a connection between Romantic literary genres and the view of the human subject as dynamic and propelled by desire of self-knowledge. This intellectual tendency is often represented symbolically as the age of youth---a time of boundless potentials and infinite possibilities.
520 # $a It is not a coincidence that literary art became an important medium for the exploration of maturity. Literature, as the realm in which subjective self-expression is always addressed to the other, is a poignant manifestation of the problematic relationship existing between the autonomous self and society. By analyzing the literary careers of Byron, Pushkin, and Stendhal, I show how each of them tried to negotiate the desire for self-expression with the need for public acceptance and understanding, and how all three authors took different routes by which they sough to combine autonomy on the one hand with success, happiness, and wisdom, on the other.
520 # $a The fall of Napoleon, a hero who embodied the aspirations of the Romantic generation, provoked an ideological crisis that can be perceived in many contemporary art works. And in part this may appear as a crisis of maturity. Whereas striving for maturity was one of the central imperatives of the Enlightenment, which identified a mature subject with the autonomy of reason, the failure of the French experiment undermined this rationalist view of maturity and motivated the search for alternative visions of the mature selfhood.
