Telling Stories about Romantic Theory
- Abstract:
- Like Tilottama Rajan's Dark Interpreter, The Genealogy of the Romantic Symbol reflects dissatisfaction with M. H. Abrams's logocentric intellectual history on the one hand and Paul de Man's deconstructive rhetorical analysis on the other. But the nature of the subject determined that Genealogy could not be a work of specifically literary theory. Thus the book's principal methodological models came from the discipline of conceptual history. While sharing with much of Rajan's work a basic concern with the systematic organization of knowledge in the Romantic period, Genealogy recounts how the Romantic concept of the symbol reacts to the modern transition from theoria (philosophical contemplation premised on the truth of self-evidence) to theory (the questioning of the truth of self-evidence).
