Marlo Burks publishes new book ‘Aesthetic Dilemmas’

Marlo A. Burks (PhD, 2016) has published her most recent book, Aesthetic Dilemmas, with McGill-Queen’s University Press. Praised as a “clear, sensible, effective, and persuasive” work of scholarship, the monograph elucidates a rich network of ideas about aestheticism, money, suffering, labour, and futurity. Burks’s expertly translated passages and critical remarks give readers a chance to encounter Hofmannsthal’s work with fresh eyes and to think deeply about art’s relation to ethics.
