Description
Dialogues With/and Great Books: A Fresh Perspective on Literary Canon Formation. What makes a book great and how do certain works become part of our accepted canon? David Fishelov offers a new approach to understanding these questions, arguing that a book's reputation is shaped by the conversations it generates with readers, authors, translators, artists, and critics. This book explores the dynamics of canon formation through a unique blend of theoretical arguments, empirical methods, and sensitive interpretations. Fishelov examines how dialogues between great books and their creators contribute to a work's reputation, using case studies from literature and art. By re-examining the relationships between authors, readers, and texts, Fishelov challenges prevailing approaches to understanding literary greatness. This thought-provoking book invites readers to rethink the Literary Canon and Intertextuality. Pages: 219 Binding: Paperback
