Description

Explore the art of literary imitation in this Routledge Revivals edition. Originally published in 1984, Joel Weinsheimer's work argues for the revitalization of imitation as a vital practice for both artists and literary critics. This book serves as a unique study where the mode of presentation is itself an imitation of Samuel Johnson, making the subject matter and the writing style inseparable. Weinsheimer examines imitation not just as an eighteenth-century poetic form, but as a method of criticism that remains relevant in the modern era. By drawing on diverse intellectual frameworks, the text provides a deep look at how imitation functions within the broader landscape of literary study. It is an essential read for those interested in how different disciplines shape our understanding of text and creativity.

Key Features

Functions as an imitation of Samuel Johnson, using the subject matter as the actual mode of presentation.

Reevaluates imitation beyond eighteenth-century poetry to show its relevance to contemporary criticism.

Integrates various academic perspectives including philosophy of science, deconstruction, and psycho-analysis.

Applies diverse theoretical lenses such as literary theory, semiotics, and hermeneutics to the study of imitation.
