Book and the Body Hardback
Edited by Dolores Frese, Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe
Part of the Yusko Ward-Phillips Lectures in English Language and Literature series
Hardback
Description
One of the most exciting developments in recent literary studies bases interpretation on a new understanding of bodily aspects of text.
Contributors Mary Carruthers, Michael Camille, Seth Lerer, and Carolyn Dinshaw bring various disciplinary perspectives to this intriguing subject. The method employed here views the body as a text to be read.
Though the approaches of these essays are widely varied, three concerns figure and refigure themselves throughout the book: the gendered body and the copied book as locus of pain, pleasure, and desire.
They will be of immense interest to medievalists and other scholars of language, philosophy, history, art history, and gender studies. Frese and O’Keeffe explore the liminal areas between the book and the body from contemporary perspectives.
Though the approaches of these essays are widely varied, three concerns figure throughout the book: the gendered body and the copied book as locus of pain, pleasure, and desire.
