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. 606 $aBooks and reading 606 $aModernism (Literature) 610 $aJames Joyce. 610 $aMarcel Proust. 610 $aVirginia Woolf. 610 $abook. 610 $afinitude. 610 $amateriality. 610 $amediation. 610 $amodernism. 610 $areading. 610 $atemporality. 615 0$aBooks and reading. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a809/.9112 676 $a809.9112 700 $aLurz$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01679445 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823001603321 996 $aThe Death of the Book$94047676 997 $aUNINA
