From the decolonizing poetics of the Caribbean to the white writing of South Africa, from the aesthetics of post-imperial disappointment to postcolonial theory itself, it develops an account of the textual and philosophical interpenetration of postcolonial aesthetics with Romantic ideas about sense, history and world.</p><p>What emerges is a reading of Romantic/postcolonial co-involvement that moves beyond well-worn models of intercanonical antagonism and the historicizing biases of conventional literary history. Caught somewhere between the effects of reanimation and estrangement, Romanticism appears here not as a stable textual repository prior to the postcolonial, but as echo, spectre, self-interruption, or vital force, that can yet only emerge in the guise of the afterlife, its agency mediated but never exhausted by postcolonial writing.</p>...2440496Romanticism and Aesthetic Life in Postcolonial Writing17541948https://www.gandhi.com.mx/romanticism-and-aesthetic-life-in-postcolonial-writing-9783319703411/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2120743/3910df1e-9c0e-4842-bc3e-1261c6c96017.jpg?v=638383537534800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189783319703411_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_<p>This book explores Romanticism as a force that exerts an insistent but critically neglected pressure on the postcolonial imagination.
