<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Geoffrey Hartman is a pivotal figure in twentieth-century literary thinking, <br>especially in literary theory and its transformation into such fields as Holocaust<br>studies, trauma studies, and work on witnessing and testimony. The essays in<br>this reader, preceded by an important autobiographical introduction, present<br>the full range of Hartman's interests, which cover almost the entire field of<br>contemporary literature and culture--from poetry through psychoanalysis<br>and trauma studies to midrash and the media revolution. <p/>Throughout his career, starting with his earliest books on Romantic literature, <br>Hartman has interrogated the possibility of a healing culture of vision, one that<br>could travel from one civilization to another and could satisfy safely rather than<br>exacerbate self-destructively the repetitive human drive to reverse time and<br>exact apocalyptic vengeance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...an unexpected, secret gift...arrives on every page of The Geoffrey Hartman Reader.-- "--The Cambridge Quarterly"<br><br><p>"Geoffrey Hartman seems to me one of the most important literary critics and<br>theorists in the world.He is an exceptionally deep and decent thinker.
