Tracing the changing functions of the literary list across time, it offers a broad range of case studies which situate selected enumerations in their respective contexts and demonstrate the versatility and creative potential of the list form. Starting with a review of previous research on the literary list, the book discusses four main constellations of enumeration: series and the great chain of being; itemization and enumerative realism; ?letteracettera? and experimental list-making; ?white noise? and creative exploits of enumeration between formal playfulness and existential exploration. The epilogue offers an analytical toolkit for the study of literary lists based on rhetorical theory. Roman Alexander Barton was appointed Assistant Professor of English Literature at the University of Freiburg, Germany, in 2020. Previously, he held a two-year postdoctoral research fellowship at the ERC-funded project Lists in Literature and Culture. His research interests include the early modern and modernist literary list, the poetics of dramatic brevity, and philosophical fiction. Eva von Contzen is Professor of English Literature including the Literatures of the Middle Ages at University of Freiburg, Germany. Her research interests include literary lists, especially the epic catalogue, medieval practices of narration, cognitive literary theory, and narrative theory in a diachronic trajectory. Anne Rüggemeier is Lecturer and DFG Research Fellow at the University of Freiburg, Germany. Her research interests include life writing, narratology, literary lists, especially the interfaces between the forms and the politics of listmaking in 19th and 20th century literary discourse, and medical humanities. She is currently working on a book project in which she explores the poetics of isolation in English literature (17th to 21st centuries). 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aLiterary form 606 $aPoetry 606 $aLanguage and languages?Style 606 $aRhetoric 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aLiterary Genre 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aRhetorics 610 $aLiterature 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 0$aLiterary form. 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aLanguage and languages?Style. 615 0$aRhetoric. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aLiterary Genre. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aRhetorics. 676 $a808.8 676 $a808.8 700 $aBarton$b Roman Alexander$01076770 701 $avon Contzen$b Eva$01359313 701 $aRüggemeier$b Anne$01076773 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910726283903321 996 $aLiterary Lists$93373765 997 $aUNINA
