Table of ContentsReviews'Modernism and Coherence' is an impressive performance which coordinates a close analysis of poetic texts with the philosophical dimensions of modern theory; the book will place its author in the forefront of younger scholars in the area of modernity. (Fredric Jameson, Duke University) (...) Durao's book (...) introduces a scholar with considerable theoretical chops and a genuine appreciation of literary aesthetics. Those interested in rigorously philosophical approaches to the study of literature as an aesthetic and political practice should take heed. (Jeffrey Atteberry, Philosophy in Review) Durao's book is remarkable in several respects, not least of which are its literary qualities. Few dissertations, or books based on dissertations, as this one is, are as enjoyable to read as Modernism and Coherence. (Jonathan Dettman, Marx & Philosophy Society 2010) (...) vor allem besticht Duraos Buch in seiner eigenen Praxis, dem Lesen und Interpretieren von Texten. Selten werden insbesondere lyrische Dichtungen einer solch genauen Lekture unterzogen, ohne dass die Interpretation zum asthetischen Selbstzweck oder zur Konturierung vorgefasster theoretischer Konzepte wird. (...) Und das Beste daran: Es macht Freude, diese Analysen zu lesen.
