It describes Eco?s intellectual development from his childhood during World War II and student involvement as a Catholic youth activist and scholar of the Middle Ages, to his early writings on the "openness" of modern works such as Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Merrell also explores Eco?s pioneering role in semiotics and his later career as a novelist. 606 $aContinental Philosophy 606 $aIntellectual life?History 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aPhilology 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aContinental Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E47000 606 $aIntellectual Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/729000 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aLanguage and Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N29000 615 0$aContinental Philosophy. 615 0$aIntellectual life?History. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 14$aContinental Philosophy. 615 24$aIntellectual Studies. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLanguage and Literature. 676 $a853.081090914 700 $aMerrell$b Douglass$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0926600 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255204803321 996 $aUmberto Eco, The Da Vinci Code, and the Intellectual in the Age of Popular Culture$92080747 997 $aUNINA
