Covering A Vast Chronological And Geographical Range, From Ancient Egyptian Inscriptions To Twentiethcentury Memorials, Susan Stewart Seeks To Answer This Question As She Traces The Appeal Of Ruins And Ruins Images, And The Lessons That Writers And Artists Have Drawn From Their Haunting Forms.Stewart Takes Us On A Sweeping Journey Through Founding Legends Of Broken Covenants And Original Sin, The Christian Appropriation Of The Classical Past, And Images Of Decay In Early Modern Allegory. Stewart Looks In Depth At The Works Of Goethe, Piranesi, Blake, And Wordsworth, Each Of Whom Found In Ruins A Means Of Reinventing His Art. Lively And Engaging, The Ruins Lesson Ultimately Asks What Can Resist Ruinationand Finds In The Selftransforming, Everfleeting Practices Of Language And Thought A Clue To What Might Truly Endure.
