(According to Jonathan Israel, underground communities of dissident Spinozist thought provide the key to a “Radical Enlightenment” countermodernity.)2 In her long-awaited book Thinking through Poetry: Field Notes on the Romantic Lyric (2018),3 Marjorie Levinson powerfully leveraged not only the controversy embedded in the history of Spinoza’s thought, but her own past notoriety as a brilliantly polemical new historicist literary scholar in British Romantic studies, into the excitement of a bold recognition of not cultural but poetic materialism: a monist, materialist philosophical poetics. In this shift from history to poetics, Spinoza supplied the terms for a postdialectical materialism. Where Levinson was long known as the argumentative demolisher of the evasively grand harmonies of William Wordsworth’s “Tintern Abbey,” Thinking through Poetry exchanged that fierce repute for something irenic, elaborating upon the mostly intuitive and affective Spinozism found in Romantic poetry, on the grounds of Wordsworth’s nondualistic lyricism of motion and spirit.Characteristically argument driven, Levinson’s study also—and I would surmise deliberately—cultivated a self-stylizing dimension that measured its aim and impact as the performance of an apparent conversion along the road of a major scholarly career. And yet, as in Spinoza’s thought, the idea of a consciously willful shift is ultimately presented as an illusion. The act of a high-profile academic critic repositioning herself over a lifetime through altering trends, Thinking through Poetry instead announces a generative (and belatedly generous) adjustment to lower-frequency rhythms of being there all along: an anthropological and ontological tribute to the inescapable truth of Spinoza’s conatus. Conatus, as Mathes states in her own new study, is a fundamental “striving to persist in being” (17). In Levinson’s characteristically more fulsome elaboration:Conatus is defined as a ceaseless and instinctive striving through which individuals endeavor to persist in their individuality. What gives conatus its radical cast is that unlike an instinct for self-preservation operat","PeriodicalId":45201,"journal":{"name":"MODERN PHILOLOGY","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136313151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
