But what exactly is literature? \u003cem\u003eWhy\u003c\/em\u003e should we read literature? \u003cem\u003eHow\u003c\/em\u003e do we read literature? These are some of the important questions J. Hillis Miller answers in this beautifully written and passionate book. He begins by asking what literature is, arguing that the answer lies in literature's ability to create an imaginary world simply with words. \u003cem\u003eOn Literature\u003c\/em\u003e also asks the crucial question of why literature has such authority over us. Returning to Plato, Aristotle and the Bible, Miller argues we should continue to read literature because it is part of our basic human need to create imaginary worlds and to have stories. Above all, \u003cem\u003eOn Literature\u003c\/em\u003e is a plea that we continue to read and care about literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236211085656,"sku":"9780415261258","price":32.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415261258_3087f0d5-b378-4475-b3f7-07e9faba5a28.jpg?v=1777269659","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/on-literature-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
