The Post-Romantic Predicament

0/5 ( ratings)

A collection of critical texts from Paul de Man's Harvard University years, published for the first timeThese essays, brought together from the Paul de Man papers at the University of California , make a significant contribution to the cultural history of deconstruction and the present state of literary theory.

This dissertation is presented alongside his other texts from this period, including essays on H�lderlin, Keats and Stefan George. This collection reflects familiar concerns for de Man: the figurative dimension of language, the borders between philosophy and literature, the ideological obfuscations of Romanticism, and the difficulties of the North American heritage of New Criticism.Key Features: - The first collection of texts by Paul de Man published since the posthumous Aesthetic Ideology - The missing link in the published de Man corpus- With an introduction by Martin McQullian, a leading de Man scholar
