Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 219 pages. Six scholars at the intersection of literary studies and philosophy offer personal, carefully argued views of the rationale and possibilities of the academic study of literature. Among their topics are the significance of literary studies for life, the disciplinary credentials…of the subject, and the role of knowledge within it. The volume contains arguments for the centrality to literary studies of the reader's experience and of a deeper understanding of the imagination, and for broader, more syncretic approaches in literary interpretation. Contributors: Erik Bjerck Hagen, Paisley Livingston, Stein Haugom Olsen, Anders Pettersson, Bo Pettersson, Torsten Pettersson.
