Philosophy of Nonsense : The Intuitions of Victorian Nonsense Literature
ISBN: 9780415076531 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text offers a sustained account of an area that is usually hastily dismissed. Using the resources of contemporary philosophy - notably Deleuze and Lyotard - Lecercle manages to bring out the importance of nonsense.

Lecercle attempts to show how the genre of nonsense was constructed and why it has proved so enduring and enlightening for linguistics and philosophy.
