{"product_id":"romanticism-and-aesthetic-life-in-philip-dickinson-9783319703404","title":"Romanticism and Aesthetic Life in Postcolonial Writing","description":"This book explores Romanticism as a force that exerts an insistent but critically neglected pressure on the postcolonial imagination. From the decolonizing poetics of the Caribbean to the white writing of South Africa, from the aesthetics of post-imperial disappointment to postcolonial theory itself, it develops an account of the textual and philosophical interpenetration of postcolonial aesthetics with Romantic ideas about sense, history and world.\u003cbr\u003eWhat emerges is a reading of Romantic\/postcolonial co-involvement that moves beyond well-worn models of intercanonical antagonism and the historicizing biases of conventional literary history. Caught somewhere between the effects of reanimation and estrangement, Romanticism appears here not as a stable textual repository prior to the postcolonial, but as echo, spectre, self-interruption, or vital force, that can yet only emerge in the guise of the afterlife, its agency mediated -- but never exhausted -- by postcolonial writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Dickinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319703404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319703404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Philip Dickinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424551616767,"sku":"9783319703404","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47ef96d8-bc12-428d-8788-86c59cd2de03.jpg?v=1761530981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/romanticism-and-aesthetic-life-in-philip-dickinson-9783319703404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
