Nabugodi, Mathelinda, author. Shelley with Benjamin : a critical mosaic / Mathelinda Nabugodi. London : UCL Press, [2023] ©2023 1 online resource (xxii, 152 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Comparative literature and culture Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. Yet what surprises me most of all at this time is that what I have written consists, as it were, almost entirely of quotations. - Compositions so produced are to poetry what mosaic is to painting. - It is the craziest mosaic technique you can imagine - and the very mind which directs the hands in formation is incapable of accounting to itself for the origin, the gradations, or the media of the process. Shelley with Benjamin: A critical mosaic is an experiment in comparative reading. Born a century apart, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Walter Benjamin are separated by time, language, temperament and genre - one a Romantic poet known for his revolutionary politics and delicate lyricism, the other a melancholy intellectual who pioneered a dialectical method of thinking in constellations. Yet, as the above montage of citations from their works demonstrates, their ideas are mutually illuminating: the mosaic is but one of several images that both use to describe how literature lives on through practices of citation, translation and critical commentary. In a series of close readings that are by turns playful, erotic and violent, Mathelinda Nabugodi unveils affinities between two writers whose works are simultaneously interventions in literary history and blueprints for an emancipated future. In addition to offering fresh interpretations of both major and minor writings, she elucidates the personal and ethical stakes of literary criticism. Throughout the book, marginal annotations and interlinear interruptions disrupt the faux-objective and colourblind stance of standard academic prose in an attempt to reckon with the barbarism of our past and its legacy in the present. The book will appeal to readers of Shelley and Benjamin as well as those with an interest in comparative literature, literary theory, romantic poetics, and creative critical writing.
