9781628971293
This magnificent and witty study by an unrecognized innovator seeks to define and explore the nature of nonsense in literature. Relying mainly on readings of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear, Elizabeth Sewell not only sets out plausible boundaries for what or does not constitutes gibberish, but elucidates just how much of what is considered sensible writing must rely on nonsense for its power. Comparable only to the greatest works of Viktor Shklovsky, The Field of Nonsense is a masterpiece of American literary criticism.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Elizabeth SewellPublisher: Dalkey Archive PressPublished: 11/27/2015ISBN: 9781628971293Pages: 197Weight: 0.60lbsSize: 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d
