Opis

A venture into the realm of contemporary literary theory, this book takes as its point of departure the nexus between philosophical hermeneutics and rhetoric that Hans-Georg Gadamer discusses in his writings. But rather that explicating Gadamer's theoretical insights, Bruce Krajewski applies them to a series of discrete texts, from Jan Steen;s Rhetoricians at a Window to Shakespeare's Coriolanus, to the postmodernist film Brazil.
