Paperback. Condition: Gut. XX, 309 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben und leichte Randläsuren, Kopf- und Fußschnitt angeschmutzt, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Schmutztitel / slightly rubbed and light edgewear, head and bottom edges soiled, pencil annotation on half title. - Morse Peckham was both one of the most significant American literary theorists of the past 30 years and one of the most distinguished scholars of Romanticism. The essays in this collection, first published in 1985, include some of his most crucial worktexts that are otherwise unavailable. The introduction offers the best brief summary of Peckham's overall theoretical position: his attempt to understand art and literature in the context of a pragmatist view of human behavior. "The importance of the Romanticism of the early 19th century," he writes, "is that a few innovative Romantics discovered and established within Western culture the basic behavior pattern of cultural transcendence." Whether Peckham is affirming the cultural role of gossip or approaching from an utterly fresh angle recent critical debates on validity, authority, and indeterminacy in literary interpretation, this volume extends his perspective in important and often startling ways. Readers unfamiliar with Peckham's work will find this a useful entry point into his theories, while those who have fully assimilated his works will find much here that is innovative and exciting. Provocative and accessible, these essays address areas of immediate relevance to contemporary cultural studies. / Contents Preface Acknowledgments Introduction I. The Romantic Tradition 1.
