The frustrated relationship between death and desire has fixated the Western imagination. Jonathan Dollimore here provides nuanced analysis that blends Plato with Shelley and Holderlin with Foucault. He weaves a thread through each to tell the story of the making of the modern individual.
Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture is a rich testament to our ubiquitous preoccupation with the tangled web of death and desire. In these pages we find nuanced analysis that blends Plato with Shelley, Hölderlin with Foucault. Dollimore, a gifted thinker, is not content to summarize these texts from afar; instead, he weaves a thread through each to tell the magnificent story of the making of the modern individual.
