The often horrible, but sometimes also enjoyable, experience of anxiety can be an aesthetic mode as well as a psychological state. Johnson’s elucidation of that state in texts by authors from Kant to Rilke demonstrates how estrangement can produce attachment, and repositions Romanticism as an engine of modernity.Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft141.German literatureHistory and criticismGerman literatureHistory and criticism.830.9Johnson Laurie Ruth1500789MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785261203321Aesthetic anxiety3727610UNINA
