Monographs:

Fugitive Objects: Sculpture and Literature in the German Nineteenth Century. (Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 2013.) 252pp.

2 Fugitive Objects examines the question of why sculpture is both intensively discussed and yet rendered immaterial in German literature. It focuses on three forms of disappearance: sculpture’s vanishing as a legitimate art form at the beginning of the nineteenth century in German aesthetics, statues’ migration from the domain of high art into mass reproduction and popular culture, and sculpture’s dislodging and relocation into literary discourse. Through original readings of Clemens Brentano, Achim von Arnim, Adalbert Stifter, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, and others, the book reveals that if sculpture has disappeared from much of nineteenth-century German literature and aesthetics, it is a vanishing act that paradoxically relocates the statue back onto another cultural pedestal, attesting to the powerful force of the medium. Reviewed in: Goethe Yearbook 23 (2106): 310-12; Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies 53.1 (2017): 85-87.

Embodying Ambiguity: Androgyny and Aesthetics from Winckelmann to Keller (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1998). 302pp. Taking as its starting point the hermaphroditic ideal that dominates Winckelmann's writings on art, the book traces the androgyne as a key figure in both Classical and Romantic aesthetic theory (von Humboldt, Schiller, Schlegel), and explores its implications for male Bildung in such novels as Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre, Schlegel's Lucinde, Eichendorff's Ahnung und Gegenwart and Stifter's Der Nachsommer.
