Abstract:
This book uses theories of affect (especially Silvan Tomkins's and Melanie Klein's) to offer new interpretations of the poetics of Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and Andy Warhol. It analyzes the peculiar theatricality of the work of these artists in relation to technologies of graphic reproduction, especially television.
