Description: Death of th : Modernist Novels and the Time of Reading, Hardcover by Lurz, John, ISBN 0823270971, ISBN-13 9780823270972, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US An examination of the ways major novels by Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf draw attention to their embodiment in the object of th, The Death of th considers how bookish format plays a role in some of the twentieth century's most famous literary experiments. Tracking the passing of time in which reading unfolds, these novels position th's so-called death in terms that refer as much to a simple description of its future vis-à-vis other media forms as to the sense of finitude thess share with and transmit to their readers. As he interrogates the affective, physical, and temporal valences of literature's own traditional format and mode of access, John Lurz shows how these novels stage intersections with the phenomenal world of their readers and develop a conception of literary experience not accounted for by either rigorously historicist or traditionally formalist accounts of the modernist period. Bringing together issues of media and mediation, book history, and modernist aesthetics, The Death of th offers a new and deeper understanding of the way we read now.
