Recenzje

Illuminating and original, The Glass Essayist takes the full measure of Anne Carson's achievement to date, from early commentaries on Greek poetry, through poems, translations, essays, lectures, and multi-media collaborations. Via dazzling close readings, Coles makes a bold, compelling argument about Carson's notorious reflexivity, anachronism, and parody in responding to classical and modern writers: these modes reveal 'the unsanctioned emotional life of scholarship,' exposing what is at stake in reading itself. With implications for debates about lyric, translation, performativity, and criticism after critique, this is a work of profound critical sympathy and insight.
