[The Rhetoric of Romanticism] shows us how the narrative of a 500-line poem can contain more cliff-hanging suspense, more sudden alternation of vision and concealment, than a thousand pages of commonplace romantic adventures.
The late Paul de Man was Sterling Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Yale University.
