Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the interplay between discordant elements in aesthetic works, this book explores how renowned authors like Emily Dickinson, Emerson, Whitman, Cather, and Wallace Stevens engage with incommensurables to challenge and redefine philosophical categories. Sharon Cameron highlights the unique ways these writers convey experiences that resist conventional understanding, creating a complex relationship between sensation and meaning. The resulting literary constellation invites readers to embrace the instability and pleasure found in the unclassifiable aspects of art and thought.
