About this book

What makes a literary work of art beautiful? What distinguishes this kind of beauty from others? In Europe, this problem has been repeatedly addressed in poetology and art theory. The present study is the first to trace the ramifications of the problem in a broader context, extending from antiquity to the 20th century. The conclusion is that in its engagement with beauty, literary esthetics takes an approach of its own to the identification of and reflection upon the nature of literature as a medium and the specific materiality and expository potential of literature, homing in not least on those things that defy communication by means of the written word.

Reviews

"Dem Leser wird an jeder Stelle das echte Bemühen sichtbar, den schwierigen und überkomplexen historischen Gegenstand verstehbar und systematisierbar zu halten."
Jan Urbich in: http://www.iaslonline.de/

"[...] handelt es sich bei Jacobs Untersuchung um ein bedeutendes Werk, das neues Licht auf ein ebenso wichtiges wie komplexes und umfassendes Thema der Literatuwissenschaft wirft; seine Informationen und Ergebnisse bilden einen Beitrag, welcher der zukünftigen Forschung sowohl Grundlage als auch Anreiz sein sollte."
Annabel Falkenhagen in: Journal of Literary Theory 2009

"Unter der Hand schreibt Jacob nicht mehr und nicht weniger als eine ‒ gewiss um ein Kernproblem kreisende, dabei überaus bescheiden angekündigte ‒ imposante Geschichte der Poetik und (Literar-)-Ästhetik.
Werner Jung in: Germanistik 1-2/2008
