What Remains: Romanticism and the Negative -- $tNotes -- $tIndex 330 $aRomanticism is often synonymous with models of identity and action that privilege individual empowerment and emotional autonomy. In the last two decades, these models have been the focus of critiques of Romanticism's purported self-absorption and alienation from politics. While such critiques have proven useful, they often draw attention to the conceptual or material tensions of romantic subjectivity while accepting a conspicuous, autonomous subject as a given, thus failing to appreciate the possibility that Romanticism sustains an alternative model of being, one anonymous and dispossessed, one whose authority is irreducible to that of an easily recognizable, psychologized persona. In Anonymous Life, Khalip goes against the grain of these dominant critical stances by examining anonymity as a model of being that is provocative for writers of the era because it resists the Enlightenment emphasis on transparency and self-disclosure. He explores how romantic subjectivity, even as it negotiates with others in the social sphere, frequently rejects the demands of self-assertion and fails to prove its authenticity and coherence. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSubjectivity in literature 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSubjectivity in literature. 615 0$aRomanticism 676 $a820.9 700 $aKhalip$b Jacques, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01102688 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154726303321 996 $aAnonymous Life$92788673 997 $aUNINA
