Land and Literature in a Cosmopolitan Age de Vincent P. Pecora

Land and Literature in a Cosmopolitan Age

Autor Vincent P. Pecora
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 feb 2020
European culture after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 was no stranger to ancient beliefs in an organic, religiously sanctioned, and aesthetically pleasing relationship to the land. The many resonances of this relationship form a more or less coherent whole, in which the supposed cosmopolitanism of the modern age is belied by a deep commitment to regional, nationalist, and civilizational attachments, including a justifying theological armature, much of which is still with us today. This volume untangles the meaning of the vital geographies of the period, including how they shaped its literature and intellectual life.

Recenzii

Yet this extraordinarily rich and erudite book is enlivened by a certain suspense.
In this impressively wide-ranging study, Pecora shows that modernism consistently exhibits cosmopolitanism's obverse: ethno-nationalism, agro-romanticism, and reactionary celebration of the local and bounded.
Pecora's book is a helpful reminder of the critical reactions to globalism voiced throughout so much modernist poetry and prose.
