Informationen zum Autor Susan Gubar is Distinguished Professor of English at Indiana University. Her two most recent publications are Racechanges: White Skin, Black Face in American Culture and Critical Condition: Feminism at the Turn of the Century. Klappentext This moving meditation by a major feminist critic finds in poetry a stimulant to empathy that can help us take to heart what we forget at our own peril. Zusammenfassung Demonstrates that Theodor Adorno's famous injunction against writing poetry after Auschwitz paradoxically inspired an ongoing literary tradition. By speaking about or even as the dead, this work tells what it means to cite, reconfigure, consume, or envy the traumatic memories of an earlier generation.
