Literature and Event

Twenty-First Century Reformulations
Herausgeber: Attridge, Derek; Mukim, Mantra

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

If 'event' is a proper name we reserve for monumental changes, crises, transitions and ruptures that are by their very nature unnameable or unthinkable, then this volume is an attempt to set up an encounter between such eventhood as it comes to have a bearing on literary works and the work of reading literature.
