Publisher Description Romanticism and the Heritage of Rousseau presents a timely and thorough-going critique of recent thinking on Romanticism. Beginning from the conviction that Rousseau may well have been the most important cultural figure of the last quarter millenium, Thomas McFarland confronts the misplaced emphases and serious misreadings of recent new historicist, post-structuralist, and feminist Romantic criticism. Using Rousseau as a guide and influence,McFarland tackles head on the work of six important scholars - including Jerome McGann, Marilyn Butler, and Paul deMan - and argues that the new orthodoxy is signally unable to perform the ultimatetask of criticism: to discern quality . In its place, McFarland advocates an attention to the texture of the cultural fabric of Romanticism, in order to restore our sense of what Romanticism is, and to allow us to hear again the plangency of its distinctive bvoice. Author Biography Thomas McFarland taught English literature in the Graduate Division of the City University of New York.
