Table of ContentsReviewsHarding presents a new and long overdue approach to Adorno's aesthetics in its attempt to apply some of his aesthetics and cultural theories to specific works. The author does this with great intelligence and insight. He also covers a wide range of topics, as Adorno's own writing does, from opera to jazz to African American literature. This range gives a strong test to Adorno's theoretical writing, which sometimes proves useful and sometimes not; the author deals sympathetically yet rigorously with those points at which Adorno's thought seems inadequately to account for the phenomena predicted by his own theories. - Sandra Corse, Georgia Institute of Technology Author InformationJames Martin Harding is Assistant Professor of English at Eastern Michigan University.
