A work of massive and singular importance, and a stirring achievement. -- Fred Moten * New York University * This is a profound work that engages as deeply with Romantic poetry as it does with traditions of literary criticism, gender studies, and critical race studies. The seriousness and lyricism of its argumentation will make this an enduring contribution. -- Jordy Rosenberg * University of Massachusetts-Amherst * This book establishes Hanson as a significant theorist of subsistence and will be a landmark of Romanticism. Original, learned, and always engaging. -- Rei Terada, University of California * Irvine *

For Lenora Hanson, careful attunement to rhetorical and poetic figuration in the age of Romanticism must not only acknowledge its deployment in forms of dispossession enacted by and against capital; it must also chart the movement of the figure in the proliferation of subsistence in the war against subsistence, in the riot of differences in the accumulation of differences, and in the globality of Romanticism that survives the globalization of Romanticism. To understand these stringent requirements-and then to practice them, with such aplomb, brilliance, and dedication-is a stirring achievement. The Romantic Rhetoric of Accumulation is a work of massive and singular importance. -Fred Moten, New York University This is a profound work that engages as deeply with Romantic poetry as it does with traditions of literary criticism, gender studies, and critical race studies.
