Dilettantism and Its Values cover

This book provides the first book-length comparative analysis of the concept of dilettantism. It shows how French nineteenth-century uses of the concept dissolved the Weimar Classicist distinction between dilettantism and art.

This study explores, with great erudition, the hitherto unknown faces of the dilettante, revealing an intriguing complexity. Hibbitt succeeds in showing how this "empty figure" can, thanks to his openness, mirror the concerns of different times and cultures. -- Forum for Modern Language Studies Forum for Modern Language Studies
