Description

Explore the profound depths of Victorian nonsense literature with Jean-Jacques Lecercle's Philosophy of Nonsense. This book provides a serious and sustained account of a genre often dismissed by scholars. By applying the resources of contemporary philosophy, including the work of Deleuze and Lyotard, Lecercle reveals why nonsense holds such importance in academic study. Why are philosophers and linguists so drawn to the nonsensical? This work examines the lasting impact of authors like Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, moving beyond the surface level to understand their significance. It offers a rigorous yet amusing look at how nonsense functions within language and thought. Whether you are a student of literature, a linguist, or a philosopher, this Routledge publication provides a fresh perspective on how seemingly absurd texts can offer deep insights into human intuition and linguistic structure. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the serious study of humor and Victorian literary traditions.
