Description

Peculiar Language: Literature as Difference from the Renaissance to James Joyce is a foundational text for anyone studying the complexities of literary theory. Published by Routledge, this work has become a central part of the academic conversation regarding how we define the language used in writing. Derek Attridge provides a deep look into the history of literary criticism. He examines key moments in literary history to show how writers, critics, and theorists often face self-contradiction when trying to define what makes literary language unique. The book suggests that these contradictions are not mistakes, but are actually part of our cultural understanding of literature itself. By exploring these tensions, the text helps readers better understand the force of literary expression. It is a necessary resource for students and scholars interested in the evolution of literary thought from the Renaissance through the era of James Joyce.
