What is The Restorative Poetics of a Geological Age : Stifter, Viollet-le-Duc, and the Aesthetic Practices of Geohistoricism about?

This book examines two mid-nineteenth century thinkers – the Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter and the French architect Eugène E. Viollet-le-Duc – who imagined cultural history on the model of earth history: as a history of objects to be restored and worlds to be reconstructed. The nascent field of geology shaped cultural thought; their conservationism, informed by erosion, envisions a future of restorative renewal. Erscheinungsdatum: 21.09.2020
