A sound contribution to the critical literature. Choice 2007 This book is far too short for the large and complex topics Andreas Gailus engages with so boldly and skillfully. -- Arnd Bohm Seminar: Journal of Germanic Studies 2008 Gailus' book provides a needful reminder that the concept of history is theoretical and the meaning of theory historical. -- Anthony Adler German Studies Review 2008 The great virtue of this book is that its author is an attentive reader who reads important texts and writes well about what he reads. -- Clayton Koelb Monatshefte 2009 Elegantly written and thoroughly researched, Passions of the Sign is a study of the philosophical and literary response to moments of foundational crisis in works by Kant, Goethe, and Kleist. It combines, in a sort of seamless perfection that is really quite rare, delicate textual analysis with an awareness of broader theoretical concerns. It treats figures of staggering importance and it addresses issues of pressing significance to the humanities. - David E. Wellbery, University of Chicago Well written and solidly thought through, this book offers a cutting-edge argument for why literature and philosophy from the 'Goethe period' matters today: it is the exemplary case of a cultural system to understand crisis - to think crisis, develop form from crisis, and, first of all, let crisis have a place to happen. - Rudiger Campe, The Johns Hopkins University Author InformationAndreas Gailus is an associate professor of German at the University of Minnesota.
