Robert Eisenhauer situates Truman Capote's texts within the artistic\/philosophical orbit of Novalis and Friedrich Schlegel, at the same time reading \u003ci\u003eAnswered Prayers\u003c\/i\u003e as a validation of Baroque mysticism, a revisiting of controversies surrounding \u003ci\u003eLucinde\u003c\/i\u003e, and a modernist take on Shelley's \u003ci\u003eTriumph of Life\u003c\/i\u003e. In the second essay, the author unpacks the signifiers Cristal and crystal, assessing their role in the rhetoric of metahistory. \u003ci\u003eBreakfast at Tiffany's\u003c\/i\u003e is seen embodying the exotic  trans  underlying representation itself, the disappointed searching of Schiller's sentimental consciousness. \u003cbr\u003e Discussing two cinematic interpretations of Terence Rattigan's play \u003ci\u003eThe Browning Version\u003c\/i\u003e, Eisenhauer traces the use\/abuse of names in the rhetoric of academic and political vilification. Drawing on such diverse sources as Aeschylus, Browning, Golding, and Adorno, he finds the current state of discourse in need of  heavy teaching , so that the repressed subject of democracy\/tyranny can surpass the psychopathology of the Same.\u003cbr\u003e Analyzing Fellini's radical revision of an Edgar Allan Poe short story, the author suggests how inscrutability saves the audience from guilt because the viewer cannot arrive at apodictic certainty concerning the  subject screened . While Poe lampoons  the transcendentals  as a kind of disease, implying readerly guilt by association, and solidifying the letter, Fellini, by valorizing theatrical illusion, fails to translate a text that teaches the reader more than he or she is prepared to know. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAfter Romanticism\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with an imaginary conversation (echoing the pedagogical dynamic of Henry James's  The Pupil ) in which a still problematic  translation  of a poetic text by the arch-modernist Gertrude Stein is discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Us","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46887535050903,"sku":"9781433103520","price":6445.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781433103520.webp?v=1770256319","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/after-romanticism-9781433103520","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
