Book Synopsis Literary Lists by : Roman Alexander Barton

Download or read book Literary Lists written by Roman Alexander Barton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise introduction to lists in literature from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. Tracing the changing functions of the literary list across time, it offers a broad range of case studies which situate selected enumerations in their respective contexts and demonstrate the versatility and creative potential of the list form. Starting with a review of previous research on the literary list, the book discusses four main constellations of enumeration: series and the great chain of being; itemization and enumerative realism; ‘letteracettera’ and experimental list-making; ‘white noise’ and creative exploits of enumeration between formal playfulness and existential exploration. The epilogue offers an analytical toolkit for the study of literary lists based on rhetorical theory.
