Roraback argues that modern culture, contemplated over its four-century history, resembles nothing so much as the pearl famously described, by periodizers of old, as irregular, barroco . Reframing modernity as a multi-century baroque, Roraback steeps texts by Shakespeare, Henry James, Joyce, and Pynchon in systems theory and the ideas of philosophers of language and culture from Leibniz to such dynamic contemporaries as Luhmann, Benjamin, Blanchot, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, and ?i?ek. The resulting brew, high in intellectual caffeine, will be of value to all who take an interest in cultural modernity?indeed, all who recognize that ?modernity? was (and remains) a congeries of competing aesthetic, economic, historical, ideological, philosophical, and political energies 410 0$aLiterary modernism (Leiden) ;$vVolume 2. 606 $aLiterature, Modern 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aLiterature, Modern. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a808.8032 700 $aRoraback$b Erik S.$01530258 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792897503321 996 $aThe philosophical Baroque$93775215 997 $aUNINA
