Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16264 ratings)

Description:In this important new book, Guy and Small develop a new account of literary creativity in the late nineteenth century, one that combines concepts generated by text-theorists concerning the embodied nature of textuality with the empirical insights of text-editors and book historians. Through these developments, which the authors term the textual turn, this study examines the textual condition of nineteenth-century literature. The authors explore works by Dickens, Wilde, Hardy, Yeats, Swinburne, FitzGerald, Pater, Arnold, Pinero and Shaw, connecting questions about what a work textually is with questions about why we read it and how we value it. The study asks whether the textual turn places us in a stronger position to analyze the value of a nineteenth-century text not for readers of the nineteenth century, but of the twenty-first. The authors argue that this issue of value is central to their discipline. "We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
