This book is-there is no way to overemphasize this-an exceedingly important meditation not only on Romanticism, eighteenth-century studies, and the ways we interpret art, history, and Hellenism; it is beyond all that a superb and daring commentary on cultural studies and historicism in their relationship to theories of criticism and language.\" -Carol Jacobs,State University of New York, Buffalo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction; 1.
