| Zusammenfassung: | "The Romantic period in literature coincided with two of the most significant transformations in modern history: the Industrial Revolution and, with it, the inflection point of the Anthropocene. Literary critics have shown that much of Romantic poetry expresses an uncanny insight into both of these transformations, including the human and ecological costs of what we now call a carbon-based economy. But was art really capable of making sense of the emerging crisis-or of changing the future? In a superbly nuanced work of literary criticism, Anahid Nersessian shows that poets began to disqualify themselves from explaining the train of consequences that industry set in motion. Their form of knowledge-if knowledge it be-was of an order different from science or economics, and could not bear the burden of accounting for environmental calamity. Romanticism, Nersessian argues, is of the Anthropocene but not about it, and she cautions against investing its poetry with a straightforwardly testimonial power. In doing so, she models an approach to criticism that reads within what Charles Olson calls "the shapeful," emphasizing the role of rhetorical figures in fashioning the posture a poem takes on a historical question. While focusing on the Romantics, Nersessian also ranges back to the seventeenth century (e.g., the poetry of Andrew Marvell) and forward to examples of contemporary poetry and conceptual art (e.g., Derek Jarman's poetry, and installations by Agnes Denes and Helen Mirra). Within literary studies, this is a widely anticipated book by one of the most brilliant critics of her generation"-- |

Literary critics have shown that much of Romantic poetry expresses an uncanny insight into both of these transformations, including the human and ecological costs of what we now call a carbon-based economy. But was art really capable of making sense of the emerging crisis-or of changing the future? In a superbly nuanced work of literary criticism, Anahid Nersessian shows that poets began to disqualify themselves from explaining the train of consequences that industry set in motion. Their form of knowledge-if knowledge it be-was of an order different from science or economics, and could not bear the burden of accounting for environmental calamity. Romanticism, Nersessian argues, is of the Anthropocene but not about it, and she cautions against investing its poetry with a straightforwardly testimonial power. In doing so, she models an approach to criticism that reads within what Charles Olson calls "the shapeful," emphasizing the role of rhetorical figures in fashioning the posture a poem takes on a historical question. While focusing on the Romantics, Nersessian also ranges back to the seventeenth century (e.g., the poetry of Andrew Marvell) and forward to examples of contemporary poetry and conceptual art (e.g., Derek Jarman's poetry, and installations by Agnes Denes and Helen Mirra). Within literary studies, this is a widely anticipated book by one of the most brilliant critics of her generation"-- Wordsworth, William 1770-1850 (DE-588)118635212 gnd rswk-swf Keats, John 1795-1821 (DE-588)118560883 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1770-1850 gnd rswk-swf Industrialisierung Motiv (DE-588)4161600-5 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 gnd rswk-swf Rhetorische Figur (DE-588)4129756-8 gnd rswk-swf Romantik (DE-588)4050491-8 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Alltag Motiv (DE-588)4212310-0 gnd rswk-swf Wordsworth, William / 1770-1850 / Criticism and interpretation Keats, John / 1795-1821 / Criticism and interpretation English poetry / 18th century / History and criticism Romanticism / England / History and criticism / 18th century Figures of speech Keats, John / 1795-1821 Wordsworth, William / 1770-1850 English poetry Romanticism England 1700-1799 Criticism, interpretation, etc Wordsworth, William 1770-1850 (DE-588)118635212 p Keats, John 1795-1821 (DE-588)118560883 p DE-604 Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Alltag Motiv (DE-588)4212310-0 s Industrialisierung Motiv (DE-588)4161600-5 s Geschichte 1770-1850 z Romantik (DE-588)4050491-8 s Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 s Rhetorische Figur (DE-588)4129756-8 s Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-226-70128-8 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-0-226-70131-8 https:// Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
