RusticRecognition of the importance of this book has only spread since its first edition in 1957. Hamburger sees in literature, like Hegel, "the art in which art begins to dissolve" and aims to clarify this feature by studying “of the language that creates, not of its creations”. With a sober, sensible and accessible style, he manages to shed light on many of the essential properties of the literary work and, in particular, lays the foundations for a new theory of genres.
