This book responds to this question by focusing on several key moments in German Romanticism and its afterlife in twentieth-century French thought and writing. It includes chapters on Friedrich Schlegel, Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Jean Paulhan, Jacques Derrida, and Paul de Man. 517 3 $aSchlegel and Kierkegaard to Derrida and de Man 606 $aCriticism 606 $aDeconstruction 606 $aIrony in literature 606 $aIrony 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aPhilosophy in literature 606 $aRomanticism 615 0$aCriticism. 615 0$aDeconstruction. 615 0$aIrony in literature. 615 0$aIrony. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aPhilosophy in literature. 615 0$aRomanticism. 676 $a809/.918 700 $aNewmark$b Kevin$f1951-$01621899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810744603321 996 $aIrony on occasion$93955431 997 $aUNINA
