Description

Literary Secretaries/Secretarial Culture explores the vital but often overlooked role of secretaries in shaping modern literature, film, and critical theory. This scholarly collection examines how secretaries function both as hidden technicians behind literary production and as compelling characters within texts themselves, spanning from Chaucer through contemporary works including Dickens, Dracula, and Erle Stanley Gardner. The essays investigate the fascinating intersection of office practice and literary theory, revealing how representations of secretarial work transform our understanding of literary texts. By connecting secretaries' real-world functions in cultural production to their symbolic presence in literature and film, this book demonstrates that secretarial culture is far more central to modern intellectual life than traditional literary criticism has acknowledged. Ideal for scholars, students, and readers interested in literary theory, cultural history, and the often-invisible labour that sustains creative industries.

Essays analyse the relationship between office practice and literary theory from medieval to modern texts.

Explores secretarial representation in canonical works by Dickens, Dracula, and Erle Stanley Gardner alongside theoretical frameworks.
