Veering: A Theory of Literature (The Frontiers of Theory) 1st Edition by Nicholas Royle (PDF)

Description

Reflections on the figure of veering form the basis for a new theory of literatureExploring images of swerving, loss of control, digressing and deviating, Veering provides new critical perspectives on all major literary genres: the novel, poetry, drama, the short story and the essay, as well as ‘creative writing’. Royle works with insights from Lewis Carroll, Freud, Adorno, Raymond Williams, Edward Said, Deleuze, Cixous and Derrida. With wit and irony he investigates ‘veering’ in the writings of Jonson, Milton, Dryden, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Melville, Hardy, Proust, Lawrence, Bowen, J.H. Prynne and many others. Contrary to a widespread sense that literature has become increasingly irrelevant to our culture and everyday life, Royle brilliantly traces a strange but compelling ‘literary turn’.

⭐Astounding. This book has been a profound influence on how I think about things. If you buy this book you will get page after page of incredible readings of poems, novels and plays. And you will also get the most extraordinary and workable theory of literature I’ve read in a while. A theory that is absolutely ecological in its scope. Couldn’t praise it more highly.
