Frances Ferguson

Solitude and the Sublime (eBook, ePUB)

The Romantic Aesthetics of Individuation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ferguson traces these two positions - the Burkean empiricist account and the Kantian formalist one - to argue that they had significance of aesthetics, including recent deconstructive and New Historicist criticism.
