Editorial Reviews: Review [The Rhetoric of Romanticism] shows us how the narrative of a 500-line poem can contain more cliff-hanging suspense, more sudden alternation of vision and concealment, than a thousand pages of commonplace romantic adventures. — Northrop Frye, Times Literary SupplementDeMan’s legacy is an intellectual style of remarkable purity…a style marked by didactic fervour, whose undertow takes us into strange seas of thought, but it remains analytic and prosaic, with a minimum of semiotic play, and no mixing by montage of fiction and criticism. ― London Review of Books From the Back Cover The author taught a generation of American critics what critical readings might mean. His philosophic reach, his self-critical scruple, and his inventive verbal precision combined to form an inimitable but deeply influential style. This collection holds special interest for its long, chronological range…The praise that de Man granted Yeats applies equally to his own work: it constantly warns against the danger of unwarranted hopeful solutions. About the Author The late Paul de Man was Sterling Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Yale University. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐De Man is brilliant, and there is much to be gained by studying his criticism.

⭐I have not read this book but I studied with Paul de Man many years ago. It was later discovered that he was an Belgian fascist who wrote for an antisemitic newspaper during the Second World War – he was essentially a war criminal who entered this country and gained success here without revealing his shameful past. He is undeserving of readers and I would not recommend this book to anyone.
