This comprehensive account demonstrates how Hartman's commitment to
the potency of aesthetic mediation informs a similar position in
current debates about ethics, media, and memory. "Geoffrey Hartman:
Romanticism after the Holocaust" offers the first comprehensive
critical account of the work of the American literary critic
Geoffrey Hartman. The book aims to achieve two things: first, it
charts the whole trajectory of Hartman's career (now more than half
a century long) while playing close attention to the place of his
career in broader cultural and intellectual contexts; second, it
engages with contemporary discussions about ecology, ethics,
trauma, the media, and community in order to argue that Hartman's
work presents a surprisingly consistent and original position in
current debates in literary and cultural studies. Vermeulen
identifies a persistent belief in the potency of aesthetic
mediation at the heart of Hartman's project, and shows how his work
repeatedly reasserts that belief in the face of institutional,
cultural and intellectual factors that seem to deny the singular
importance of literature. The book allows Hartman to emerge as a
major literary thinker whose relevance extends far beyond the
domains of Romanticism, of literary theory, and of trauma studies.
