520    "Figures of Natality reads metaphors and narratives of 
       birth in the age of Goethe (1770-1832) as indicators of 
       the new, the unexpected, and the revolutionary. Using 
       Hannah Arendt's concept of natality, Joseph O'Neil argues 
       that Goethe, Schiller, and Kleist see birth as challenging
       paradigms of Romanticism as well as of Enlightenment, 
       resisting the assimilation of the political to economics, 
       science, or morality. They choose instead to preserve the 
       conflicts and tensions at the heart of social, political, 
       and poetic revolutions. In a historical reading, these 
       tensions evolve from the idea of revolution as Arendt 
       reads it in British North America to the social and 
       economic questions that shape the French Revolution and 
       from there to the question of the German nation. Alongside
       this geopolitical evolution, the ways of representing the 
       political change, too, moving from the new as 
       revolutionary eruption to economic metaphors of birth. 
       More pressing still is the question of revolutionary 
       subjectivity and political agency, and Goethe, Kleist, and
       Schiller have an answer that is remarkably close to that 
       of Walter Benjamin, as that "secret index" through which 
       each past age is "pointed toward redemption." Figures of 
       Natality uncovers this index at the heart of scenes and 
       products of birth in the age of Goethe."--|cProvided by
