Drawing on the ideas of Geoffrey Hartman, Perry Anderson, Fredric Jameson, and Jacques Rancière among others, John MacKay shows how a wide range of Romantic and post-Romantic poets (including Wordsworth, Clare, Shelley, Hölderlin, Lamartine, Baudelaire, Blok, Khlebnikov, Mandelstam, and Rolf Dieter Brinkmann) employ the generic resources of inscription both to justify their writing and to attract a readership, during a complex historical phase when the rationale for poetry and the identity of audiences were matters of intense yet productive doubt.European poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismEuropean poetry19th centuryHistory and criticismLyric poetryHistory and criticismInscriptionsEuropean poetryHistory and criticism.European poetryHistory and criticism.Lyric poetryHistory and criticism.Inscriptions.809.1/034MacKay John(John Kenneth)818939MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808087903321Inscription and modernity4013099UNINA
