Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Clearly the result of many years of reading, thinking, teaching, and writing about this immense body of material,
The Poetics of Poesis is quite extraordinary. Brilliantly original and strikingly learned."" —J. Hillis Miller, niversity of California, Irvine
"While the range of textual reference may prove intimidating to the average undergraduate reader, the avid consumer of nineteenth-century fiction will find much to enjoy by way of illuminating aperçus about well-known novels, introductions to novelists as yet unread, and provocative claims to test against novels which did not make the very long list of fiction covered in this book." - Modern Language Review
"On the whole, Bonaparte’s philosophical and literary erudition is
outstanding and she offers illuminating analyses of aspects of individual
novels as well as insightful passages which cast light on fundamental cultural tendencies." — Dickens Quarterly
