{"product_id":"9783031283727","title":"Literary Lists: A Short History of Form and Function","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a concise introduction to lists in literature from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. Tracing the changing functions of the literary list across time, it offers a broad range of case studies which situate selected enumerations in their respective contexts and demonstrate the versatility and creative potential of the list form. Starting with a review of previous research on the literary list, the book discusses four main constellations of enumeration: series and the great chain of being; itemization and enumerative realism; ‘letteracettera’ and experimental list-making; ‘white noise’ and creative exploits of enumeration between formal playfulness and existential exploration. The epilogue offers an analytical toolkit for the study of literary lists based on rhetorical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46554160005361,"sku":"9783031283727","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9783031283727_p0.jpg?v=1765561868","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783031283727","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
