Jacques Khalip is Associate Professor of English and Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.

"Khalip explores many of the Romantic and pre-Romantic figures we hold most responsible for the cultivation and deployment of an expressive, confessional self in order to reveal, often in the very texts that would confirm this received idea, the work of a dispossession that results in various—and variously productive—forms of anonymity. Nuanced and supple in its deployment of contemporary criticism and theory, this is as original and exciting a book in Romantic studies as I have encountered in some time."—Forest Pyle, University of Oregon "Jacques Khalip is quite brilliant in the way he explains and defines the second-generation "negation" of earlier Romantic egoism. Anonymous Life is commanding and convincing, a most valuable contribution to Romantic literary studies and theoretical criticism." —Jerrold E. Hogle, University of Arizona
