Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the intersection of literature and knowledge, this book delves into how literary works, including those by Henry James and Kafka, contribute to our understanding of knowledge itself. Through detailed analysis of various examples, it examines themes of irony, indirection, and the unique qualities of forms like the villanelle. The discussion spans a diverse range of authors, including Auden, Proust, Rilke, Calvino, Jean Rhys, and Yeats, offering a rich exploration of literature's role in questioning and interpreting knowledge.
