ISBN-13: 9780415806121 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 210 str.

Josephine Guy; Ian Small

Opis

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.

Recenzje

"In their examination of the relationship between the literary value assigned to a work and its ‘textual condition,’ Josephine Guy and Ian Small write against the grain in a turn away from concern for ‘literariness’ and what a work is to an interrogation of the processes and conditions through which it was realized…the authors…give us some understanding of the complex and yet fascinating indeterminacy of texts in the Victorian period." --Kerry Powell, Miami University, English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920
