From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed binding, some price tag residue on the back, faint staining on bottom edge, otherwise very good. / Leicht beriebener Einband, etwas Preisschildrückstand auf dem hinteren Einband, leichte Anschmutzung auf Fußschnitt, sonst sehr gut. - In a lively and provocative fashion, Peculiar Language addresses some of the most intractable problems implicit in discussions of the language of literature. In Derek Attridges view, all attempts by writers, critics, and literary theorists to define such language have involved self-contradiction; literary language is both set in opposition to ordinary language and valued for its closeness to authentic speech. Attridge here examines key moments in the history of the debates on literary language in the light of contemporary critical and linguistic theory, particularly the writings of Jacques Derrida. Attridge first explores three turning points in literary historythe Renaissance privileging of artificial literary language, the Romantic demand for a poetic language based on the language of the common people, and the early twentiethcentury attempt to treat language as an object of scientific studyand then considers the modernist questioning of all such categorizations. Through analyses of works by George Puttenham, William Wordsworth, Ferdinand de Saussure, and especiallyJames Joyce, Attridge demonstrates that contradictions in accounts of literary language are inherent in our cultures notion of literature; he asserts that we should look beyond the domain of the literary to the wider social and political sphere in order to appreciate the forces that determine the limits of literary language. Drawing heavily on examples from Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Attridge questions the traditional understanding of such literary features as deviant syntax, sound-imitation, the verbal play of puns and portmanteau words, and narrative structures, and he proposes alternative approaches based in part on Derridas deconstructive strategies. A lucid introduction to the uses of deconstruction, Peculiar Language offers a vigorous challenge to those who argue that poststructuralist analysis ignores the social and political contexts of literature. It will be welcomed by readers with an interest in literary theory, and in Renaissance, Romantic, and modernist literary language. - Derek Attridge is Professor of English at Rutgers University. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Cambridge University and until recently taught at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland. Attridge is the author of The Rhythms of English Poetry (1982), among other books, and the co-editor of Post-Structuralist Joyce: Essays from the French (1984) and Post-Structuralism and the Question of History (1987).
