Meer over het boek

Focusing on the archetype of the dangerous lover, this book explores his pervasive influence across literature and philosophy over the past two centuries. Deborah Lutz examines the evolution of this brooding romantic hero, from the Romantics to modern narratives, highlighting his dark past and complex emotions. By engaging with both canonical and lesser-known authors, she connects this figure to the philosophies of Heidegger, Modernism, and Barthes, while probing deep themes of desire, death, and eroticism in a lyrical, essayistic manner.
