For what this is worth, I recall, back in my college days, thinking about
doing a paper much as you have in mind. I was reading BEING & TIME in my
senior metaphysics class and was also taking a course in Romantic Lit.
and I recall also seeing some sort of connection there.
When I conferred with my prof about this Heidegger/Romanticism for my
paper he said "okay -- just make sure you do philosophy and not literary
criticism".
I thought about that, decided that the paper would be more lit crit than
phil and changed my topic to an explication of "being-in-the-world".
But this was all about 15 years ago and so I suppose that the distinction
between philosophy and lit crit is not so vital anymore.
