Abstract

Abstract : This article argues that what might be called the 'post-literary' is the completion of the literary – specifically, the literary that came to theoretical self-realisation in what came to be called Romanticism – and that that completion, which is our contemporary reality, happens, by its very nature, at the level of politics.
