Böcker av David Greenham

Emerson's Metaphors provides a radical reading of Ralph Waldo Emerson's figurative language, demonstrating that Emerson's metaphors should be understood as ways of thinking. Covering the full range of Emerson's writings, this book offers a reinterpretation of one the most important and influential nineteenth-century American writers.

This book provides an original account of Emerson's creative debts to the British and European Romantics, including Coleridge and Carlyle, firmly locating them in his New England context. Moreover this book analyses and explains the way that his thought shapes his unique prose style in which idea and word become united in an epistemology of form.

This is the first book length study of Norman O. Brown's large scale works from /Heremes the Thief/ to /Closing Time/. Delving into the complex writing, David Greenham explains Brown to a larger audience while also exploring the relationship between Brown's writings and those of his better-known contemporary, Herbert Marcuse.
