Description: Romanticism and the Rise Of English, Hardcover by Elfenbein, Andrew, ISBN 080476025X, ISBN-13 9780804760256, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Elfenbein (English, U. of Minnesota) calls for a reconsideration of what was once a dynamic area of literary criticism but is now largely overlooked: the relation between literature and language. By doing so he seeks to take advantage of a broadened understanding of linguistic history to reassess and restructure authorial agency, a project that requires considerable understanding of the formal and institutional forces shaping the production of English. Taking a social philological approach, he recovers major events shaping English studies and uses English Romantic syntax, sounding, meaning, elocution, and composition more or less as case studies, building a strong case not for the return to an historic form of literary criticism but the synthesis of new understanding and classical methods. Challenging but eminently readable, this serves as a model for future scholarship and criticism. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
