    av Jaime Rodriguez Matos
    320 - 1 142,-

    av Brian McGrath

    Lives of the Dead Poets explores the biographical interest that has marked the posthumous reception of John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

  • - The Confusion of Tongues in German Romanticism
    av Kristina Mendicino
    459 - 1 344,-

    Mendicino retraces the ways in which the task of translation is tied in Romantic writing to prophecy, not in the sense of telling future events, but in the sense of speaking in the place of another, such that language takes place in more than one voice-and tongue-at once, unpredictably.

    av Emily Rohrbach
    357 - 1 101,-

    Modernity's Mist explores an understudied aspect of Romanticism: its future-oriented poetics. In the work of John Keats, Jane Austen, Lord Byron, and William Hazlitt, Modernity's Mist describes a poetics of future anteriority or the uncertainty of "what will have been"-a grammar of historical engagement for a time of unprecedented political change.

    av Erin Graff Zivin
    360 - 1 227,-

    How do we read after the so-called death of literature? Graff Zivin elaborates anarchaeological reading: reading for the blind spots, errors, points of opacity or untranslatability. Through interdiscursive exposure between continental philosophy and Argentine literature, art, and film, Graff Zivin shows how anarchaeological reading radicalizes the possibility of justice.
