Modern scholars often find it difficult to account for the profound eccentricities in the work of William Blake, dismissing them as either ahistorical or simply meaningless. But with this pioneering study, Saree Makdisi develops a reliable and comprehensive framework for understanding these peculiarities. According to Makdisi, Blake's poetry and drawings should compel us to reconsider the history of the 1790's. Tracing for the first time the many links among economics, politics, and religion in his work, Makdisi shows how Blake questioned and even subverted the commercial, consumerist, and political liberties that his contemporaries championed, all while developing his own radical aesthetic.

Ce livre convie le lecteur à la rencontre d'une femme qui traverse le temps : la Sibylle. Exploration passionnante, jalonnée de surprises et d'émerveillement. C'est d'abord sous la forme d'une voix, mystérieuse et grandiose, qu'apparaît la Sibylle proférant l'oracle. Très tôt. la voix se matérialise et se multiplie jusqu'aux confins du monde grec où sont célèbres la Persique, la Libyque, la Cumaine, d'autres encore. Partout, la Sibylle incarne la divination inspirée. À Rome et à Alexandrie, c'est sa parole écrite qui a valeur sacrée. Avec le christianisme, l'antique prêtresse d'Apollon se voit adoptée en tant que " vraie prophétesse ". Étonnante transformation ! Le rôle de la Sibylle gagne en importance au sein de l'Église médiévale, et l'art chrétien s'approprie la Sibylle païenne - faits qui, étrangement. semblent avoir été occultés par l'Histoire. Au temps de la Renaissance, la Sibylle (voire le " concert des sibylles " en son entier) opère une entrée spectaculaire et triomphante dans les églises : à Sienne par exemple, le somptueux pavement de la Cathédrale présente dix Sibylles comme messagères de la Révélation. Une vogue qui n'est pas limitée à l'Italie. Cet ouvrage est illustré des plus belles représentations, en France et en d'autres pays, qui marquent cette période exceptionnellement féconde. Après le Concile de Trente, la figuration sibylline ne disparaît pas ; elle se transforme et s'adapte aux courants esthétiques. Toujours perçue comme la femme habitée par l'intuition des choses cachées, la Sibylle fascine et inspire peintres et sculpteurs, romanciers, poètes et musiciens. En pays catalan. le " Chant de la Sibylle " fait, encore aujourd'hui, partie de la tradition liturgique de Noël. Mais à côté de cette image dominante, tout auréolée de sacré, on trouve aussi, rarement, une Sibylle décrite comme magicienne. parfois dangereuse séductrice, parfois irascible rivale de la Vierge Marie ou fière rebelle qui fait songer à Lilith : comme si elle condensait, en une même personne dotée d'une puissance exceptionnelle, tous les traits, positifs et négatifs, de la féminité.

Modern aesthetics is the product of a process of segregation. Works of art are something necessarily distinct from that which merely »finds the dubious acclaim of the crowd« (Schiller). All the way up to Adorno and beyond, this postulate asserted itself successfully. Any blurring of the boundaries between art and kitsch was pilloried as sacrilegious, as if art were a locus of something akin to theology. For that precise reason post-modernism has displayed provocative zest in dismantling such a categorization. Kitsch is the frank and unashamed expression of a need for emotional appeal and immed
