{"product_id":"poetic-force-kevin-mclaughlin-9780804791007","title":"Poetic Force: Poetry After Kant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book argues that the theory of force elaborated in Immanuel Kant's aesthetics (and in particular, his theorization of the dynamic sublime) is of decisive importance to poetry in the nineteenth century and to the connection between poetry and philosophy over the last two centuries. Inspired by his deep engagement with the critical theory of Walter Benjamin, who especially developed this Kantian strain of thinking, Kevin McLaughlin uses this theory of force to illuminate the work of three of the most influential nineteenth-century writers in their respective national traditions: Friedrich Hderlin, Charles Baudelaire, and Matthew Arnold. The result is a fine elucidation of Kantian theory and a fresh account of poetic language and its aesthetic, ethical, and political possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin McLaughlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804791007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804791007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Kevin McLaughlin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120261755135,"sku":"9780804791007","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3321531a-bf71-4a92-8ecc-3c5c8a47261a.jpg?v=1687413366","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetic-force-kevin-mclaughlin-9780804791007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
