Roberto Schwarz

A Master on the Periphery of Capitalism

Machado de Assis

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is a masterpiece of criticism. The coherence of Schwarz's perspective and the clarity with which he elaborates the economic and cultural insights that form his dialectical approach to literature make his study a paradigmatic one for theoretical enterprise. By concentrating his interpretive talents on Machado's style, Schwarz also illuminates a question that has puzzled many present Machado readers: Why do we find him so satisfylingly contemporary?"--Leslie Damasceno, Duke University
