Arranged historically, contributions address both popular and canonical English and US-American writing from the early modern period to the present. They focus on how historically specific texts engage with epistemological questions in relation to material and social forms as well as representation. The authors discuss literature as a culturally embedded form of knowledge production in its own right, which deploys narrative and poetic means of exploration to establish an independent and sometimes dissident archive. The worlds that imaginary texts project are shown to open up alternative perspectives to be reckoned with in the academic articulation and public discussion of issues in economics and the sciences, identity formation and wellbeing, legal rationale and political decision-making.What Literature Knows American literatureEnglish literatureKnowledge, Theory of, in literatureAmerican literature.English literature.Knowledge, Theory of, in literature.810.8Kley Antje1368750Merten KaiNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910720517403321What Literature Knows3394687UNINA
