Description: "Titanic Light concentrates on de Man's increased interest during the 1960s in Romantic (and post-Romantic) literature and criticism. De Graef follows in detail de Man's strong readings of the works of Holderlin, Rousseau, and Wordsworth. He connects de Man's interpretations of these and other writers with his earlier critical works and his later deconstructive writings.

In addition, de Graef places de Man's essays from the 1960s (some later collected in the influential volume Blindness and Insight) in the context of the critical debates of that era - debate's about structuralism, Marxism, phenomenology, American New Criticism, and other critical schools."--BOOK JACKET.
