Reviews
I know of nothing quite like this bold, innovative and endlessly intriguing way of juxtaposing a range of binaries: concepts, movements and authors. This is a book not to miss., Mimesis constitutes realism, fantasy Romanticism? Polly Dickson examines how algorithmically entwined and logically unstable mimesis and fantasy actually are. This lucid and erudite investigation of writers from Plato to Wilde discloses a new Hoffmann and a new Balzac, a new Romanticism and a new realism.

Synopsis
Examines the role occupied by the senses and the self in approaches to literary mimesis in nineteenth-century European literature, Since Plato's Republic , mimesis -- the artwork's tacit claim to reflect or imitate real life -- has faced a near-constant stream of assaults, being accused of naturalising a supposedly uncomplicated relationship between world and fiction. Lines of Mimesis offers a revisionary account of mimesis. Specifically, it proposes a rethinking of the representational attitudes of two literary schools usually understood to be at odds with one another -- Romanticism and Realism -- through close readings of writings and drawings made by two figures usually taken to be proponents of those schools respectively: E. T. A. Hoffmann and Honoré de Balzac. Across these readings, Dickson argues that a more capacious understanding of mimesis is achieved when we understand it to pertain not to the reduplication of objects in the world, but to a negotiation of the subject's sensory entwinement with those objects. This new understanding can, in turn, more closely illuminate an artwork's own reflections on its relationship to the world, shedding light on the entanglements and crossovers between Romanticism and Realism.

They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
