Review
“The Pathos of Distance is an inspiring achievement, a work of remarkable breadth and precision. It is an invaluable addition to the conversation on modernism and affect ...

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jean-Michel Rabate uses Nietzsches image of a pathos of distance, the notion that values are created by a few gifted and lofty individuals, as the basis for a wide-ranging investigation into the ethics of the moderns. Revealing overlooked connections between Nietzsches and Benjamins ideas of history and ethics, Rabate provides an original genealogy for modernist thought, moving through figures and moments as varied as Yeats and the birth of Irish Modernism, the ethics of courage in Virginia Woolf, Rilke, Apollinaire, and others in 1910, T. S. Eliots post-war despair, Jean Cocteaus formidable selfmythology in his first film The Blood of a Poet, Siri Hustvedts novel of American trauma, and J. M. Coetzees dystopia portraying an affectless future haunted by a messianic promise. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
