Bøker av Daniela Garofalo

Draws from the work of Jacques Lacan to provide innovative readings of Romantic literature in the long nineteenth century.

Commonly understood as a means for transcending political and economic realities, love, for several canonical Romantic writers, offers, instead, a contestation of those realities. Offering a new understanding of canonical Romanticism, the author suggests that representations of erotic love in the period have been largely misunderstood.
