The Painful Poignancy of Desire is an introduction to Romantic and
Postromantic poetry. Professor Moscovici's exegesis places an
emphasis on passion, which is more than merely a romantic theme;
passion is the Romantic ethos. Students of literature often wonder
why writings from centuries ago are given seemingly permanent
places in the canon, and are studied extensively in an
undergraduate setting. The Painful Poignancy of Desire addresses
contemporary students' desire to know why older works are relevant,
and indeed necessary to their lives and study. By presenting
aspects of the Romantic and Postromantic movements in poetry,
including her own poetry, Professor Moscovici illustrates that
these cultural movements are a significant part of history because
they illuminate the origins of an individual's pleasures, sense of
beauty, and ultimately, our hope. These movements continue to
awaken our emotions, imaginations, sensibilities, and creativity.
They offer a wealth of riches in literary and human history.
