    About audio and ebooks

Frederick Garber studies in a wide range of English, French, German, and American literary texts instances of the struggle for the self’s autonomy during the period preceding modernism. In tracing a pattern that changes from the unsettling of bourgeois conditions in Richardson to the collapse of that challenge in the Decadents, he demonstrates that this period is characterized by a pervasive dialectic of aloofness and association.

Originally published in 1982.
