Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Metaphors are ubiquitous and yetor, for that very reasongo largely unseen. We are all variously susceptible to a blindness or blurry vision of metaphors; yet even when they are seen clearly, we are left to situate the ambiguities, conflations and contradictions they regularly presentlogically, aesthetically and morally.David LaRoccas book serves as a set of reminders of certain features of the natural history of our languageespecially the tropes that permeate and define it. As part of his investigation, LaRocca turns to Ralph Waldo Emersons only book on a single topic, English Traits (1856), which teems with genealogical and generative metaphorsblood, birth, plants, parents, family, names and race.In the first book-length study of English Traits in over half a century, LaRocca considers the presence of metaphors in Emersons fertile texta unique work in his expansive corpus, and one that is regularly overlooked. As metaphors are encountered in Emersons book, and drawn from a long history of usage in work by others, a reader may realize (or remember) what is inherent and encoded in our language, but rarely seen: how metaphors circulate in speech and through texts to become the lifeblood of thought. Using English Traits as his point of departure, LaRocca explores the presence and significance of metaphors in Emerson. In doing so, he shows their centrality to Emerson's thinking, but also reminds us of their centrality to all thinking. For example, purity metaphors abounded in nineteenth-century discourse in science, literature, and philosophy. Emerson picks up on this phenomenon, both to examine and undermine it. Why, for instance, would a faith in purity be philosophically dangerous? Purity is merely one of a host of metaphors that reveal problematical implications. Others include: blood, race, family, nation, genealogy, anatomy, and melancholy. By throwing light on Emerson's scrutiny of the great metaphors of his age, LaRocca lays bare the allusive and anecdotal aspects of Emerson's prose-the way it makes possible thinking on certain topics, and renews thinking of other issues. Metaphors are ubiquitous and yet-or, for that very reason-go largely unseen. We are all susceptible to blindness for metaphors. This book serves as a set of "reminders" of certain features of the natural history of our language. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
