But in the middle decades of the century, Christina Lupton observes, authors described with surprising candor the material and economic facets of their own texts' production. In Knowing Books Lupton examines a variety of eighteenth-century sources, including sermons, graffiti, philosophical texts, and magazines, which illustrate the range and character of mid-century experiments with words announcing their status as physical objects. Books that "know" their own presence on the page and in the reader's hand become, in Lupton's account, tantalizing objects whose entertainment value competes with that of realist narrative.Knowing Books introduces these mid-eighteenth-century works as part of a long history of self-conscious texts being greeted as fashionable objects. Poststructuralist and Marxist approaches to literature celebrate the consciousness of writing and economic production as belonging to revolutionary understandings of the world, but authors of the period under Lupton's gaze expose the facts of mediation without being revolutionary. On the contrary, their explication of economic and material processes shores up their claim to material autonomy and economic success. Lupton uses media theory and close reading to suggest the desire of eighteenth-century readers to attribute sentience to technologies and objects that entertain them. Rather than a historical study of print technology, Knowing Books offers a humanist interpretation of the will to cede agency to media. This horizon of theoretical engagement makes Knowing Books at once an account of the least studied decades of the eighteenth century and a work of relevance for those interested in new attitudes toward media in the twenty-first. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aMediation in literature 606 $aSelf-consciousness (Awareness) in literature 606 $aLiterature publishing$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aMediation in literature. 615 0$aSelf-consciousness (Awareness) in literature. 615 0$aLiterature publishing$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 676 $a820.9/005 700 $aLupton$b Christina$01516212 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788669303321 996 $aKnowing books$93752539 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03445nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910830297403321 005 20221206183853.0 010 $a1-280-82710-6 010 $a9786610827107 010 $a0-470-12082-7 010 $a0-470-12081-9 035 $a(CKB)1000000000355102 035 $a(EBL)290287 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000237667 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11203259 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000237667 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10221770 035 $a(PQKB)10338294 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC290287 035 $a(OCoLC)123518971 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000355102 100 $a20061003d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aReviews of reactive intermediate chemistry$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Matthew S.

Moreover, it underlies a significant portion of modern synthetic chemistry and is integral to a molecular view of biological chemistry. Reviews in Reactive Intermediate Chemistry presents an up-to-date, authoritative guide to this fundamental topic. Although it follows Reactive Intermediate Chemistry by the same authors, it serves as a free-standing resource for the entire chemical and biochemical community.
