Despite its widely acknowledged importance in and beyond the thought of the Romantic period, the distinctive concept of the symbol articulated by such writers as Goethe and F W J Schelling in Germany and S T Coleridge in England has defied adequate historical explanation In contrast to previous scholarship, Nicholas Halmi's study provides such an explanation by relating the content of Romantic symbolist theory - often criticized as irrationalist - to the cultural needs of its time Because its genealogical method eschews a single disciplinary perspective, this study is able to examine the Romantic concept of the symbol in a broader intellectual context than previous scholarship, a context ranging chronologically from classical antiquity to the present and encompassing literary criticism and theory, aesthetics, semiotics, theology, metaphysics, natural philosophy, astronomy, poetry, and the origins of landscape painting The concept is thus revealed to be a specifically modern response to modern discontents, neither reverting to pre-modern modes of thought nor secularizing Christian theology, but countering Enlightenment dualisms with means bequeathed by the Enlightenment itself This book seeks, in short, to do for the Romantic symbol what Percy Bysshe Shelley called on poets to do for the world: to lift from it its veil of familiarity ...

Brian Huot’s aim for this book is both ambitious and provocative He wants to reorient composition studies’ view of writing assessment To accomplish this, he not only has to inspire the field to perceive assessment—generally not the most appreciated area of study—as deeply significant to theory and pedagogy, he also has to counter some common misconceptions about the history of assessment in writing In (Re)Articulating Writing Assessment, Huot advocates a new understanding, a more optimistic and productive one than we have seen in composition for a very long time Assessment, as Huot points out, defines what is valued by a teacher or a society What isn’t valued isn’t assessed; it tends to disappear from the curriculum The dark side of this truth is what many teachers find troubling about large scale assessments, as standardized tests don’t grant attention or merit to all they should Instead, assessment has been used as an interested social mechanism for reinscribing current power relations and class systems Reciprocally, Huot reminds us, one can use assessment to bring the attention of the curriculum to what we want it to value It’s his intention to (re)articulate writing assessment as a positive, important aspect of designing, administrating and theorizing writing instruction—in a sense, returning it to its roots in early conceptions of assessment as progressive social action "An agenda for assessment that recognizes it as an important element for social action allows us to guard against over-privileging the values, gestures and customs of certain groups, and provides assessment with the potential to become an agent for progressive social change that highlights the improvement of educational environments and opportunities for all students " A well-reasoned, provocative discourse on basic conceptions in the field, this book will be of significant value to scholars in writing and assessment, to writing program administrators, to readers in educational assessment, and to graduate students in rhetoric and composition ...
