"A force to be reckoned with, Transcendental Poetics and the Futures of American Romanticism boldly argues that Romanticism is a project that has yet to be fulfilled. Askin weaves poetry, philosophy, and criticism with great fluidity. A beautiful, magisterial work. I loved reading this book." — Claire Colebrook, author of Who Would You Kill to Save the World?"An untimely book, at the right time. By showing the ongoing relevance and impact of the project of American Romanticism, Askin connects the past to our present—maybe even our futures—infusing a gush of fresh air into our contemporary condition. Aesthetics and activism unite!" — Bernd Herzogenrath, author of An American Body/Politic: A Deleuzian Approach
