Although Blanchot's work is characterised by a fragmentary and complex style, Leslie Hill introduces clearly and accessibly the key themes in his work. He shows how Blanchot questions the very existence of philosophy and literature and how we may distinguish between them, stresses the importance of his political writings and the relationship between writing and history that characterised Blanchot's later work; and considers the relationship between Blanchot and key figures such as Emmanuel Levinas and Georges Bataille and how this impacted on his work.\u003cbr\u003e Placing Blanchot at the centre stage of writing in the twentieth century, \u003cem\u003eBlanchot\u003c\/em\u003e also sheds new light on Blanchot's political activities before and after the Second World War. This accessible introduction to Blanchot's thought also includes one of the most comprehensive bibliographies of his writings of the last twenty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041509173X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415091732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Leslie Hill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136043888895,"sku":"9780415091732","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a69f3ccc-8e51-4953-b756-937388a4a72d.jpg?v=1770160133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blanchot-leslie-hill-9780415091732","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
