Betrachtet man ein paar zufällig gepflückte Rotbuchenblätter, wird man bei genauerem Vergleich feststellen, dass kein Blatt exakt wie ein anderes aussieht. Sie unterscheiden sich in Größe, Blattrand, Nervatur und anderen Merkmalen. Besonders fällt aber auf, dass sich an der überwiegenden Zahl der Blätter irgendwelche Abweichungen von der "Norm", d.h. vom absolut sauberen, gesunden Zustand, feststellen lassen: hier ist es ein feiner Lochfraß, d...

A study of the mode of the fragmentary 18th-century poetry. Revisiting traditional literary historiography, it offers a fresh account of the 'Pindaric' impulse, a mode informing deliberate fragmentation. It discusses the ode, the long-poem, imitations of Spenser, Macpherson's 'reinventions' of the epic, and poems engaging with memory and ruin.

This study of the life and works of David Mallet (?1705-65) is the first study of Mallet for the past one hundred and fifty years and assesses the poet's significance within his own period, arguing that modern scholarship has unduly neglected this complex personality who represented changing notions in taste and aesthetics, the intersection between literature and politics, and fashioned professional personae for himself as controversial patrio...
