About this product
Product Information
''Tropics of Discourse'' develops White's ideas on interpretation in history, on the relationship between history and the novel, and on history and historicism. Vico, Croce, Derrida, and Foucault are among the figures he assesses in this work, which also offers original interpretations of a number of literary themes, including the Wild Man and the Noble Savage. White's commentary ranges from a reappraisal of Enlightenment history to a reflective summary of the current state of literary criticism.

In this White seems a successor to A. O. Lovejoy and Ernst Cassirer."-- Journal of Modern History, "Like most of White's work, the book arises from a boldly imaginative transaction between the philosophy of history, literary criticism and semiotics."-- Notes and Queries, Like most of White's work, the book arises from a boldly imaginative transaction between the philosophy of history, literary criticism and semiotics., No other historian appears to be at the frontier of so many developments or so skillful at integrating them into traditional American scholarship in the history of ideas.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
