This book discusses the elusive centrality of silence in modern
literature and philosophy, focusing on the writing and theory of
Jean-Luc Nancy and Roland Barthes, the prose of Samuel Beckett, and
the poetry of Wallace Stevens. It suggests that silence is best
understood according to two categories: apophasis and reticence.
Apophasis is associated with theology, and relates to a silence of
ineffability and transcendence; reticence is associated with
phenomenology, and relates to a silence of listenership and
speechlessness. In a series of diverse though interrelated
readings, the study examines figures of broken silence and silent
voice in the prose of Samuel Beckett, the notion of shared silence
in Jean-Luc Nancy and Roland Barthes, and ways in which the poetry
of Wallace Stevens mounts lyrical negotiations with forms of
unsayability and speechlessness.
