| Summary: | This is the first book-length study of Adorno's philosophical criticism of literature contained in his four-volume Notes to Literature. Rather than relying exclusively on aesthetic concepts inherited from his predecessors in the Western tradition (such as Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard), Adorno's essays on literature seek to transgress and transcend the conceptual limitations of aesthetic discourse by appropriating a non-conceptual, metaphorical vocabulary borrowed from the literary texts he investigates. Adorno's interpretations of literature mobilize an alternative subterranean, primarily essayistic and fragmentary discourse on language and history that eludes the categories that tend to predominate his thinking in his major work, Aesthetic Theory. |
