Making human sense of the American Postmodern,
By
This review is from: Bodies at Risk: Unsafe Limits in Romanticism and Postmodernism (S U N Y Series in Postmodern Culture) (Paperback)
Neveldine's scholarship is top-notch, his scope panoramic, his approach at once academic and deeply personal. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Romanticism, Postmodernism, Queer Theory, Gender Studies, or Cultural Criticism. Neveldine makes sense of the seminal critics of the Postmodern while keeping up a steady but gentle attack on the sorts of false binaries and antiquated assumptions that still imprison academia today. From Wordsworth to Pynchon, from Shelley's Frankenstein to the music of Philip Glass, from humanity's struggle with nature to America's terror in the grip of AIDS, Neveldine paints a truly broad canvas with precious few strokes. Not only a thorough work of scholarship, but a marvelously engaging read.
