Coleridge's Sublime Later Prose and Recent Theory (eBook, PDF)

Kristeva, Adorno, Rancière

Beschreibung

This book explores the sublime in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's later major prose in relation to more recent theories of the sublime. Building on the author's previous monograph Sublime Coleridge: The Opus Maximum, this study focuses on sublime theory and discourse in Coleridge's other major prose texts of the 1820s: Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit (wr. 1824), Aids to Reflection (1825), and On the Constitution of the Church and State (1829). This book thus ponders the constellations of aesthetics, literature, religion, and politics in the sublime theory and practice of this central Romantic author and three of his important successors: Julia Kristeva, Theodor Adorno, and Jacques Rancière.

Rezensionen

Coleridge s Later Prose and Recent Theory: Kristeva, Adorno, Rancière, by Murray Evans, in some ways serves as a case study of the issues that arise in so many of the articles in Duffy s collection. It also attempts to make the subject more present and relevant by addressing contemporary philosophers and urgent issues . result is a collection of very interesting thought experiments that is possibly less historically rigorous than it might be but is nonetheless intriguing and worthwhile. (Stephen Hancock, European Romantic Review, February 26, 2025)

Coleridgeans with little interest in modern theory, should read this book, as it provides fresh insights into the later Coleridge not ordinarily available from single-author analyses. Evans comparative breadth can only deepen our appreciation of the persistence of the Coleridgean milieu. (Peter Larkin, The Coleridge Bulletin, Vol. 63, 2024)
