Num Pages: 344 pages, 20 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: ACVC; DSBH5; HPN. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 5817 x 3887 x 15. Weight in Grams: 476.
Constellations of a Contemporary Romanticism takes its title and point of departure from Walter Benjamin’s concept of the historical constellation, which puts both “contemporary” and “romanticism” in play as period designations and critical paradigms.

Reviews for Constellations of a Contemporary Romanticism
"What might be Romanticism now? In tackling the implications of this question, which entails thinking Romanticism less as a period designation and more as a constellation of critical paradigms, Khalip and Pyle release us from the historical time (and, just as importantly, historicization) of Romanticism to think it forward as 'something evermore about to be.'
