Irony on Occasion by Kevin Newmark
This book examines how the romantic and post-romantic concept of irony provides the means for an uneasy articulation between philosophical thought and literary language. It considers the role played by ironic disruptions in writings by Friedrich Schlegel, Sren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Thomas Mann, Jean Paulhan, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, and J.M. Coetzee.
"Timely, provocative, carefully reasoned and argued, and unique in its scope" -- -Elizabeth Rottenberg DePaul University "Irony on Occasion is perhaps the best book on irony written since Kierkegaard's The Concept of Irony in the early nineteenth century." -- -J. Hillis Miller University of California, Irvine
