The Work of Difference addresses a fundamental ontological
question: What is literature? And at the heart of this question, it
argues, is the problem of the new. How is it that new works or new
forms are possible within the rule-governed orders of history,
language use, or the social? How are new works in turn recognizable
to already-existing institutions? Tracing the relationship between
literature and the problem of newness back to a set of concerns
first articulated in early German romanticism, this book goes on to
mount a critique of romantic tendencies in contemporary criticism
in order, ultimately, to develop an original theory of literary
production. Along the way, it offers new readings of major
modernist novels by Samuel Beckett, Marcel Proust, and Gertrude
Stein.
