- catalog abstract ""In his 1963 debut essay for the militant Quebec journal Parti pris, Andre Brochu invoked the figure of sixteenth-century skeptic Michel de Montaigne in the name of what Ralph Waldo Emerson, responding to the same over a century earlier, had called "an original relation to the universe." By tracing the idealism of nineteenth-century American and twentieth-century Quebec writers back to Montaigne and his rejection of Aristotelian and Scholastic reason, The Renaissance of Impasse offers an alternate history to that found in much (post)Romantic criticism, wherein modern skepticism tends to be identified with, and so in a sense confined to, the project of Enlightenment reason. Key works from Thomas Carlyle, Emerson, and Herman Melville to Hubert Aquin, Rejean Ducharme, and Victor-Levy Beaulieu serve to define and to refine the sense of an impasse - personal, social, spiritual, historical, and political - that accompanies the "modern" drive to renaissance."--Jacket.".
