Thinking in Literature sets out to examine how the Modernist novel
might be understood to be a machine for thinking, and further how
it might offer means of coming to terms with what it means to
think. It begins with a theoretical analysis of the concept of
thinking in literature using Gilles Deleuze as a point of departure
and returning directly to the work of the two philosophers who were
most important to Deleuze's understanding of thinking in
literature: Spinoza and Leibniz. Three elements are identified as
crucial to aesthetic expression: relation; sensation; and
composition. Yet in order to build a fuller understanding of these
processes it is necessary to move from theory to specific readings
of artistic practice. Uhlmann examines the aesthetic practice of
three major Modernist writers: James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and the
young Vladimir Nabokov. Each can be understood as working with
relation, sensation and composition, yet each emphasize the
interrelations between them in differing ways in expressing the
potentials for thinking in literature.
