Inhaltsangabe

Explores the power and limits of the discourse surrounding internalization through close readings of Romantic texts by Wordsworth, De Quincey, Rousseau, Baudelaire, Freud, Benjamin, and Sedgwick. Situating the emergence of internalization as part of the history of what Gertrude Stein called "patriarchal poetics," and finding internalization frequently condensed into figures of eating and drinking, Wilner (English and comparative literature, City College and CUNY Graduate Center, New York) approaches these and other considerations with readings in the tradition of deconstruction, psychoanalysis and gender studies. Wilner states that "the notion of internalization tends to be handled...as a known quantity, whereas I am arguing that the notion itself remains obscure and thus that the problem of internalization and the problem of Romanticism may indeed, with respect to the discourse of literary history, be closely intertwined."
