Where formalism has often been accused of sealing texts within themselves, Eyers demonstrates instead how a renewed, speculative formalism can illuminate the particular ways in which literature actively opens onto history, politics, and nature, in a connective movement that puts formal impasses to creative use. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through a combination of philosophical reflection and close rhetorical readings, Eyers explores the possibilities and limits of deconstructive approaches to the literary, the impact of the \"digital humanities\" on theory, and the prospects for a formalist approach to \"world literature.\" The book includes sustained close readings of Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Yeats, and Wallace Stevens, as well as Alain Badiou, Paul de Man, and Fredric Jameson. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Eyers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810134314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810134317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Tom Eyers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065163133183,"sku":"9780810134317","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29c8e19e-86c5-40f0-a752-8cf9315d34db.jpg?v=1768673407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/speculative-formalism-tom-eyers-9780810134317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
