Book Summary
Goethe's essays have been culled for their literary, aesthetic, and scientific
content, by the textuality and their location at the nexus of genre and literary
history have not received the critical attention they deserve. In Idioms of
Uncertainty, Peter Burgard analyzes the rhetorical strategies, structure, and
style of pivotal essays and relates them to the essay traditions as represented
by Montaigne and Johnson. By formulating the critique of systematic philosophy
inherent in the essays and by investigating their participation in the principal
aesthetic dialogue of the age--the Laocoon debate, which spanned nearly half a
century--Burgard situates them in the context of eighteenth-century critical
discourse.
