Lyrical Strains

Analyses both political philosophy and poetic theory in order to chronicle the consolidation of the modern lyric and the liberal subject across the long nineteenth century. In its consideration of politics and poetics, this book offers a new approach to genre and gender that will help shape the field of nineteenth-century American literary studies.

In aceasta carte, Elissa Zellinger analizeaza atat filozofia politica, cat si teoria poetica pentru a relata consolidarea liricii moderne si a subiectului liberal de-a lungul lungului secol al XIX-lea. In Statele Unite ale secolului al XIX-lea, atat liberalismul cat si lirica au cautat auto-definirea prin practicarea tehnicilor de excludere.
