Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. Edited by Michael Hollington, Francesca Orestano and Nathalie Vanfasse. This volume shows how highly conscious Dickens was of words ? of their meaning of course, and of the ideas they conjured up, but also of their very substance, texture, plasticity, v…isuality, and resonance, as well as their interactions with other words, and with their cultural environment. Each keyword is treated not as a semantic unit with a fixed meaning but rather as a flexible linguistic construct. Some keywords are just a word, a characteristic or even idiosyncratic lexical unit; some are treated as a load-bearing conceptual category or theme; some disintegrate into noise, complicating readers? assumptions about what a keyword must be. The focus shifts from "word" at micro- to macro-levels of signification, at times denoting wider cultural usage. Dynamic relations, oppositions, correlations and overlappings result from these individualized reading journeys, creating unforeseen and rich systems of meaning. With contributions by Maria Teresa Chialant, Michael Eaton, Michael Hollington, Nathalie Jaëck, Ewa Kujawska-Lis, Peter Merchant, Lillian Nayder, Francesca Orestano, Jeremy Parrott, Céline Prest, Magdalena Pype c, Dominic Rainsford, Victor Sage, Jeremy Tambling and Nathalie Vanfasse. 247 Seiten, broschiert (Close Reading. Schriften zur britischen Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft; Vol. 4/V&R Unipress 2021). Statt EUR 35,00. Gewicht: 330 g - Softcover/Taschenbuch.
