{"product_id":"self-text-and-romantic-irony","title":"Self, Text, and Romantic Irony","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrederick Garber takes up in detail several problems of the self broached in his previous book, \u003ci\u003eThe Autonomy of the Self from Richardson to Huysmans\u003c\/i\u003e (Princeton, 1982). Using patterns in Byron's canon as models, he focuses on the relations of self-making and text-making as a central Romantic issue. For Byron and many of his contemporaries, putting a text into the world meant putting a self there along with it, and it also meant that the difficulties of establishing the one inevitably reflect the parallel difficulties in the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Garber discusses some of Byron's key texts and shows how their development leads to an impasse involving both self and text. Byron's way out of these dilemmas was the mode of Romantic irony, of which he is one of the greatest exemplars. The study then moves into broader areas of Anglo-European literature, its ultimate purpose being to argue not only for the efficacy of such irony but for its position as something more than a mere alternative to Romantic organicism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
