Advertising, Subjectivity and the Nineteenth-Century Novel: Dickens, Balzac and the Language of the Walls: Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture

Autor S. Thornton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2009
From 1830 to 1870 advertising brought in its wake a new understanding of how the subject read and how language operated. Sara Thornton presents a crucial moment in print culture, the early recognition of what we now call a 'virtual' world, and proposes new readings of key texts by Dickens and Balzac.

Recenzii

'Thornton has a real gift for detailed, nuanced textual analyses. Shae also shows an impressive ability to draw upon a variety of critical and social theoriests, rangingb from Freud and Benjamin to Agamben and Butler, to add conceptual depth without diverting the argument in tangential or otherwise unproductive directions.'
- Nicholas Mason, Associate Professor of English, Brigham Young University, USA, New Books Online 19
