First published in 1991, Textual Communication examines the
character and development of the novel from Richardson to Nabokov
in relation to the printing and publishing industry. The book
blends literary theory with a historical analysis of communication,
carrying the debate on the novel beyond the pioneering work of
Booth and Genette, while responding to and taking issue with the
writings of Foucault, Baudrillard, McLuhan, and Barthes. It
analyses the structures of the industry which manufactured and
marketed novels to show how novelists solved the communication
problems that they faced in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and
twentieth centuries. It also pinpoints critical moments in the
history of the novel when new narrative strategies appeared, and
places them in the context of the communication environment in
which the texts were produced. Using Lacan's theory of the divided
subject, the book defines textual communication as a form of
interaction in which two divided subjects, the author and the
reader, try to communicate with each other under or against the law
of the book market, censorship, literary conventions, and language.
