{"product_id":"textual-condition-of-nineteenth-century-literature","title":"Textual Condition of Nineteenth-Century Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this important new book, Guy and Small develop a new account of literary creativity in the late nineteenth century, one that combines concepts generated by text-theorists concerning the embodied nature of textuality with the empirical insights of text-editors and book historians. Through these developments, which the authors term the ‘textual turn,’ this study examines the textual condition of nineteenth-century literature. The authors explore works by Dickens, Wilde, Hardy, Yeats, Swinburne, FitzGerald, Pater, Arnold, Pinero and Shaw, connecting questions about what a work textually ‘is’ with questions about why we read it and how we value it. The study asks whether the textual turn places us in a stronger position to analyze the value of a nineteenth-century text—not for readers of the nineteenth century, but of the twenty-first. The authors argue that this issue of value is central to their discipline. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234098336088,"sku":"9780415806121","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415806121_41b8819f-9b8e-4c74-974b-fc28a28acd47.jpg?v=1769686229","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/textual-condition-of-nineteenth-century-literature","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
