Books by Geoff Klock

This book investigates the bittersweet legacy of the art-for-art's sake movement in today's popular culture and the modern landscape where questions of beauty are seen as secondary to those of social justice by examining Bryan Fuller's Hannibal, among other works of popular culture.

Argues that the bizarre portrayal of historical writers in post-Enlightenment English poetry constitutes a genre, a battleground for two central conflicts: the confrontation of the self-sufficient Romantic imagination with the brute fact of external precursors; and the participation in, and simultaneous deflation of, Romantic idealism.

Geoff Klock presents a literary and psychoanalytic study of superhero comic books.
