Description

This book presents the first full-length study of the stylistically experimental and influential novelist George Moore’s (1852-1933) repeated acts of rewriting.

Moore extensively and repeatedly revised and re-issued many of his major works, sometimes years or even decades after they were initially published.

This monograph provides new insights into how this process shaped and determined his work, and by extension into the creative significance of literary rewriting more generally.

It also offers the first sustained application of linguistic pragmatics, the study of meaning in interaction, to the work of a single author, opening up questions about how analytical paradigms developed in pragmatics can explain how rewriting can affect the interactive relationship between a literary text and its readers.

The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the areas of pragmatics, stylistics, literary history, English literature and Irish literature.
