Aesthetic Materialism

Electricity and American Romanticism

Beschreibung

"Aesthetic Materialism: Electricity and American Romanticism" provides a fresh understanding of American romanticism by examining the use of electrical imagery, science, and technology by writers such as Emerson, Fuller, Whitman, and Melville to re-describe literary aesthetics as a transcendent and material practice mediating among socio-economic structures, human physiology and spirituality, and language itself.
