About This Item
Foreword by Stanley Cavell. Volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.25", is bound in black cloth, with orange lettering to spine. Book is like new. Dust jacket shows light shelfwear. Jacket is preserved in mylar cover. xviii/163 pages.
""The Space Between" is a unique series of linked essays, tracing a political and literary itinerary against the tumultuous background of the late 1960s and the early 1970s.
Jay Cantor skillfully weaves together essays on Joyce, Yeats, "Hamlet," terrorism, William Carlos Williams's poetics, Beckett's despair, and the American action painters to demonstrate how art can point the way toward a refiguring of politics, history, and political activity. His unique vision -- moving between the aesthetic dimensions of political situations and the use of artistic activities to define political situations -- ultimately leads to a major reevaluation not only of the historical landscape but also of the individual as part of it."
