Review

"Ellison's book makes our experience of modernist writers and texts and more subtle while also futhering an arresting argument about philosophical shifts during this literary-historical moment. Perhaps most importantly, it `infects' us with the author's delight in both aesthetic enjoyment and art's unique mode of ethical inquiry." Modernism

"[a] worthy contribution to the ethics and politics of literary Modernism." Woolf Studies Annual

"...a collection of excellent deconstructive close readings in European philosophy and literaure." The Wordsworth Circle

Book Description

David Ellison's book is an ambitious presentation of the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of Modernist literature. Ellison brings together philosophical, theoretical, and literary texts ranging over a century and a half of intellectual history (from Kant and Kierkegaard to Freud and Woolf). He shows, through close readings, how the struggle between aesthetic and ethical issues characterises each of them. He combines the insights of philosophical conceptualisation, narratology, and psychoanalytic t heory in order to illuminate the historical passage from the sublime to the uncanny during this 150-year period (1790-1940).
