Rethinking the Concept of the Grotesque: Crashaw, Baudelaire, Magritte

There is much to admire in this stimulating and well-researched study, not least its invitation to reconsider the significance not only of the grotesque itself, but also of other influential and related aesthetic terms such as the sublime, the uncanny, and the fantastic. -- Modern Language Review Modern Language Review Succeeds in its aims to define the grotesque, give insight into its use of visual and verbal media, and demonstrate its progression through time... a well-reasoned and well-researched book that is a welcome contribution to the study of the Grotesque, as well as to the literature on Crashaw, Baudelaire and Magritte. -- Forum for Modern Language Studies Forum for Modern Language Studies
