Literature in Contexts

By Peter Barry

Book Overview

This book seeks to problematise the very notion of context, and it seeks out - in a series of contextualising experiments - contexts which are text-specific, or author-specific, or literary rather than historical, putting forward a distinction between 'deep' and 'broad' contexts.
