Literature in an age of endless work
This piece makes the case for the novel’s allegiance to a way of life that includes both work and contemplation. I point this out in response to some recent arguments that situate reading in one framework or another: a professional or a ›lay‹ context; a critical or a literary one. Bringing in the results of a recent ethnographic study that shows even literary academics wishing for some reading time away from work, and some novels that situate the…
Reading Novels During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Drawing on a study of novel readers in Denmark and the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic, this book provides a snapshot of a phenomenal moment in modern history. The ethnographic approach shows what no account of books published during the pandemic will be able to capture, namely the movement of readers between new purchases and books long kept in their collections. The book follows readers who have tuned into novels about plague, apocalypse, and r…
Reading and the Making of Time in the Eighteenth Century
"The idea that there is a relation between media and time is a familiar one. It is often said that digital technologies have quickened the pace at which we consume information in the modern world. In Christina Lupton's Reading and the Making of Time in the Eighteenth Century, she looks back to the eighteenth century to demonstrate the ways in which the emerging print culture and modes of reading and writing affected the experience and understandi…
Literature and contingency
Paper ontologies
This article takes a critical approach to the possibility of applying Bruno Lator’s work to Tristram Shandy. Sterne is both reflexive about the impossibility of representing the material work and determined to do just that in relation to his book. But these are competing tendencies in Latour’s terms, difficult to judge in the context of a single work. Latour’s recent language for Fiction as a “mode” ultimately leaves us without a way to distingui…
Introduction
Bruno Latour’s formulation of modernity as a particular intertwining of persons and things has shaped recent efforts to rethink the legacy of the Enlightenment. What is more, Latour has often reverted to the eighteenth century as a site of origins—whether it is for the sort of practices that characterize the modern laboratory, the social formations that are the objects of Actor-Network Theory generally, and the kinds of false conceptual breaks th…
Naming the Baby
Early in The Rise of the Novel, Ian Watt identifies a single element of the eighteenth-century novel as an exemplary innovation, namely "the way that the novelist typically indicates his intention of presenting a character as a particular individual by naming him in exactly the same way as particular individuals are named in ordinary life." 1 Pamela Andrews, Charles Grandison, Moll Flanders, and Tom Jones could not, Watt reminds us, have appeared…
