Introduces the most important terms for understanding literature,
past and present. Literature Now argues that modern literary
history is currently the main site of theoretical and
methodological reflection in literary studies. Via 19 key terms,
the book takes stock of recent scholarship and demonstrates how
analyses of particular historical phenomena have modified our
understanding of crucial notions like archive, book, event, media,
objects, style and the senses. The book not only reveals a rich
diversity of subjects and approaches but also identifies the most
salient traits of literature and literary studies today. Leading
literary critics and historians offer thought-provoking arguments
as well as authoritative explorations of the key terms of literary
studies providing students as well as scholars with a rich resource
for exploring theoretical issues from a historically informed
perspective. Key Features Organised around the key terms used in
literary studies today: archive, book, medium, translation,
subjects, senses, animals, objects, politics, time, invention,
event, generation, period, beauty, mimesis, style, popular and
genre Puts literary history at the forefront of theoretical and
methodological reflection in literary studies Original chapters by
leading literary critics, theorists and historians
