Virginia Woolf, Modernity and History: Constellations with Walter Benjamin
I read this for a course, so with anything 'required' it must be painful (if it is good for you it must be bland, kind of thinking), but I was pleasantly disappointed. Gaull makes a lively, piquant, factual account of the age. She was able to use just a few pages to get her point across for each and every contributor to the Movement called Romanticism. I found her summations insightful and useful; it worked as a handy reference guide. I read the entire book and am better off for doing so.
