To Love to Hate
FROM THE TIME OF SOCRATES' Phaedo to the present, misanthropy has been thought of as spoilt idealism: the flipside of generosity for Timon of Athens, of sincerity for Molière's Alceste, of reason for Jonathan Swift's Gulliver, and so on. Misanthropy thus construed places one in a critical position between ''humanity and humans'' (Schiller). In contrast, Chris Burden's work leads us to see the misanthropy fundamental to and constitutive of the ver…
Cannibals and Philosophers
"Taking us to the heart of the Enlightenment via the stomach, Daniel Cottom argues that the period was from the beginning obsessed with guts and disgust as much as it was with mind and reason. In Cannibals and Philosophers, Cottom traces how human flesh became a new thing in the Enlightenment - a flesh of sensibility, a surface of stimuli that at once inspired and disturbed artists and philosophers. Examining paintings, digestion, machines, spa w…

Ravishing Tradition
Getting It
COLLOQUIAL LANGUAGE WOULD HAVE IT that anomia is a common condition, so common in fact as to be almost unremarkable. Consider the expression I lost as used in circumstances that make it clear we are not to any fungible thing. A popular catchphrase in the United States at least since the early 1980s, I lost is said of an extremely upsetting event and the response occasioned by it. But what is it one claims to have lost? Although it may have been d…

The Civilized Imagination
The Civilized Imagination is a study of literature in a period of cultural change. As part of the transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century a great transformation occurred in the relations among aesthetic theory, literature, and society. This study analyses such changes as they appear in the works of Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott, three apparently distinct novelists whom the author locates within a unified cultura…
The Enchantment of Interpretation
The Waverley Novels
Superstition is a major element in almost all of the Waverley Novels and would merit attention if only for that reason.2 Its significance, however, goes beyond the fact that it is a characteristic topic in Scott's fiction as well as in other works, such as Rime of the Ancient Mariner, loosely grouped under the title of Romanticism. For the attitude which Scott takes towards superstition is a contradictory one, at once rational and superstitiously…
Frankenstein and the Monster of Representation
As Mary Shelley indicated when she described this novel as her hideous progeny (10)2, monster created in Frankenstein is a likeness of novel itself. The similarity is so strong, in fact, that figure Victor Frankenstein brings to life may be said to represent novel in which both he and that figure appear. Thus, horror that Frankenstein feels in contemplating monster can also be reaction of a reader who finds letters on a page to lose their meaning…
