Shakespearean tragedy and "Dracula," Sherlock Holmes and "Ulysses,"
"Frankenstei "and "The Waste Land"--all are celebrated "wonders" of
modern literature, whether in its mandarin or popular form.
However, it is the fact that these texts are so central to our
contemporary notion of literature that sometimes hinders our
ability to understand them. Franco Moretti applies himself to this
problem by""drawing skillfully on structuralist, sociological and
psycho-analytic modes of enquity in order to read these texts as
literary systems which are tokens of wider cultural and political
realities. In the process, Moretti offers us compelling accounts of
various literary genres, explores the relationships between high
and mass culture in this century, and considers the relevance of
tragic, Romantic and Darwinian views of the world.
