- Information
Description
In The Making of a Terrorist, Jeffrey Champlin examines key figures from three canonical texts from the German-language literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: Goethe's Goetz von Berlichingen, Schiller's Die Rauber, and Kleist's Michael Kohlhaas.
Champlin situates these readings within a larger theoretical and historical context, exploring the mechanics, aesthetics, and poetics of terror while explicating the emergence of the terrorist personality in modernity.
In engaging and accessible prose, Champlin explores the ethical dimensions of violence and interrogates an ethics of textual violence.
