| Summary: | "As a method to study literary writing processes, genetic criticism is also a reading strategy. The idea behind this book is to introduce this strategy to a broader audience, from undergraduate students and interested readers to early career researchers and literary critics. A work of literature sometimes seems to hit a nerve, but it is more challenging to pinpoint exactly why it 'works'. This book therefore starts from a basic principle: knowing how something was made can help us understand how and why it works. This strategy is at the basis of many disciplines, including art history. By means of X-ray technology or hyperspectral imaging, it is possible to look at a painting as a multilayered object with not only spatial dimensions but also a temporal one. This temporal dimension is the core of the reading strategy explored in this book"--Publisher's description. |
