Recenzje

What Britton has accomplished is compelling if taken on its own terms. For readers attuned to political consequence yet a bit weary of the symptomatic reading, a refocusing of our attention on form is refreshing, especially in a study that teases out at a deep structural level the interconnected logics of literary form and sympathy as both philosophical notion and cultural good... Any scholar interested in the long Romantic century should pick up this insightful and original book.
