Who cares about details? As Naomi Schor explains in her highly
influential book, we do-but it has not always been so. The interest
in detail--in art, in literature, and as an aesthetic category--is
the product of the decline of classicism and the rise of realism.
But the story of the detail is as political as it is aesthetic.
Secularization, the disciplining of society, the rise of
consumerism, the invention of the quotidian, have all brought
detail to the fore. In this classic work of aesthetic and feminist
theory, now available in a new paperback edition, Schor provides
ways of thinking about details and ornament in literature, art, and
architecture, and uncovering the unspoken but powerful ideologies
that attached gender to details.
Wide-ranging and richly argued, Reading in Detail presents ideas
about reading (and viewing) that will enhance the study of
literature and the arts.
