From the Georgics of Virgil to Flaubert's landscapes of happiness,
Ullrich Langer argues that lyric representation holds a particular
power to address our humanity. Ranging across a vast chronology,
the book investigates how such poetry and prose activates our
capacities for empathy, equity, irony and reasoning, while
educating us in pleasure and helping us comprehend death. Each
chapter constitutes a fresh encounter with some of the most
celebrated texts of European literary history, demonstrating how
the lyrical works, and what it elicits in us. Through deft
rhetorical and philological analysis, the study presents the value
of literary studies for both ethical purposes and aesthetic ends.
