Description

First published in 1984 and now part of Routledge's Revivals series, Joel Weinsheimer's Imitation presents a compelling argument for revitalizing imitation as a critical practice in literary studies. The book itself functions as an imitation of Samuel Johnson, making imitation both its subject matter and its method of presentation. Weinsheimer moves beyond viewing imitation as merely an eighteenth-century poetic form, instead positioning it as a vital mode of literary criticism with contemporary relevance. Drawing on diverse theoretical frameworks including philosophy of science, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, literary theory, semiotics and hermeneutics, the work demonstrates how imitation can serve as a powerful analytical tool for both critics and artists. This Routledge edition brings Weinsheimer's influential exploration back into circulation for scholars, students and literary professionals seeking to understand the intersection of creative practice and critical methodology.

Key Features

Joel Weinsheimer's Imitation uses Johnson's style as both subject and method, creating a unique meta-critical approach to literary analysis and theory.

The book contextualises imitation within multiple theoretical frameworks including deconstruction, psychoanalysis, semiotics and hermeneutics for comprehensive scholarly coverage.

Routledge Revivals edition makes this 1984 foundational text accessible to contemporary scholars studying literary criticism and the philosophy of literature.

Weinsheimer positions eighteenth-century imitation practices as directly applicable to modern literary criticism and creative writing methodologies.
