The novels of Henry Fielding and Henry James may be instructive in the art of moral living. Some go further and argue that Emile Zola and Harriet Beecher Stowe played a part in ameliorating the lives of those existing in harsh circumstances.\r\n\r\n However, as Derek Attridge argues in this outstanding and acclaimed book, none of these capacities is distinctive of literature. What is the singularity of literature? Do the terms \"literature\" and \"the literary\" refer to actual entities found in cultures at certain times, or are they merely expressions characteristic of such cultures? Attridge argues that this resistance to definition and reduction is not a dead end, but a crucial starting point from which to explore anew the power and practices of Western art. Derek Attridge provides a rich new vocabulary for literature, rethinking such terms as \"invention,\" \"singularity,\" \"otherness,\" \"alterity,\" \"performance\" and \"form.\" He returns literature to the realm of ethics, and argues for the ethical importance of literature, demonstrating how a new understanding of the literary might be put to work in a \"responsible,\" creative mode of reading.\r\n\r\n   The Singularity of Literature is not only a major contribution to the theory of literature, but also a celebration of the extraordinary pleasure of the literary, for reader, writer, student or critic.   This Routledge Classics edition includes a new preface by the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Use Stock Images\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we have over 2 million items for sale we have to use stock images, this listing does not include the actual image of the item for sale.
