Tracking the passing of time in which reading unfolds, these novels position the book’s so-called death in terms that refer as much to a simple description of its future vis-à-vis other media forms as to the sense of finitude these books share with and transmit to their readers. As he interrogates the affective, physical, and temporal valences of literature’s own traditional format and mode of access, John Lurz shows how these novels stage intersections with the phenomenal world of their readers and develop a conception of literary experience not accounted for by either rigorously historicist or traditionally formalist accounts of the modernist period. Bringing together issues of media and mediation, book history, and modernist aesthetics, The Death of the Book offers a new and deeper understanding of the way we read now.Books and readingModernism (Literature)James Joyce.Marcel Proust.Virginia Woolf.book.finitude.materiality.mediation.modernism.reading.temporality.Books and reading.Modernism (Literature)809/.9112809.9112Lurz Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1679445DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910823001603321The Death of the Book4047676UNINA
