Maurice Blanchot on Poetry and NarrativeAuthor :

Published : Thursday 18 May 2023
Description
Blanchot and his writings on three major poets, Mallarmé, Hölderlin, and Char, provide a decisive new point of departure for English language criticism of his philosophical writings on narrative in this study by leading Blanchot scholar, Kevin Hart.Connecting his work to later leading figures of 20th-century French philosophy, including Emmanuel Levinas, Simone Weil, and Jacques Derrida, Hart highlights the importance of Jewish philosophy and political thought to his overall conception of literature. Chapters on community and negation reveal Blanchots emphasis on the relationship between narrative and politics over the more commonly connected narrative and aesthetics. By fully discussing Blanchots elusive concept of "the Outside" for the first time, this book progresses scholarly understandings of his entire oeuvre further. This central concept engages Franz Rosenzweigs work on Abrahamic faiths, enabling a reckoning on the role of suffering and literature in the wake of the Shoah, with significant implications for Jewish studies more generally.
