Over the course of the past forty years, Gerard Genette's work has
profoundly influenced scholars of narratology, poetics, aesthetics,
and literary and cultural criticism, and he continues to be one of
France's most influential theorists. The eighteen pieces in Essays
in Aesthetics are of international interest because they are
concerned either with universal aesthetic problems (the receiver's
relationship to an aesthetic object, abstract art, the role of
repetition in aesthetics, genre theory, and the rapport between
literature and music) or with specific moments in the work of a
well-known writer or artist (such as Stendhal, Proust, Manet,
Pissarro, and Canaletto). Essays in Aesthetics contains a wealth of
material related to the appreciation of beauty by one of the
subtlest and most original minds working in aesthetics today.
Genette knows the fine arts as well as he knows literature and as a
result has innovative things to say to readers in that field as
well as to philosophers and literary scholars. Gerard Genette
helped start the influential journal Poetique and is the author of
many books, including two published in translation by the
University of Nebraska Press: Mimologics and Palimpsests:
Literature in the Second Degree. Dorrit Cohn is a professor emerita
of German and comparative literature at Harvard University and is
considered one of the main contributors to modern poetics. She is
the author of The Distinction of Fiction and Transparent Minds:
Narrative Modes for Presenting Consciousness in Fiction.
