Binion, Rudolph: Sounding the Classics

From Sophocles to Thomas Mann. The book is a comparative study of 12 works of fiction broadly representative of the Western canon. Its aim is to discover what gives these 12 works their lasting appeal and vitality over and beyond their formal qualities. It focuses on the interplay of text and subtext within each work after defining these terms at the outset. It then compares its 12 sample classics systematically in a conclusion that argues from the works themselves to classics in general. 160 Seiten, broschiert (Contributions to the study of world literature; Vol. 83/Praeger Publishers 1997) textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, leicht berieben/clean text pages, minor traces of use, slightly rubbed
