Denotatively, Technically, Literally
Denotative, literal, and technical language-transparent and lacking in resonance-seems to be the opposite of literary language. A vigorous reading of the former, we argue, should seek to realize its opacity and difficulty, its nonidentity with itself. To do so requires a revised and expanded sense of denotation, a rethinking of reference, the dereification of writing, an appeal to more expansive and heterodox archives, a historicism that forestal…
Ghostly Reference
Ghostly reference is a malleable aspect of representation, a formal nexus that allows for the free play of belief and the production of worlds-two necessary conditions for the formation and sustenance of the liberal subject. In various fictions and one historical circumstance, this essay tries to take ghosts literally, to ask what they are as well as what they mean

The Ideas in Things
Fine Fingers
A stroll around any contemporary crafts fair will quickly reveal that many handmade items are clunky, awkward, and often simply ugly. Such products can only be redeemed by the oft- repeated mantra: "It was made by hand." We include much that is not entirely or even predominantly handmade in this category—hand-knit sweaters of mechanically spun wool, for example. And we exclude much that is at least partly handmade. Think of, say, computer chips, …
Fringe
I N THE NINETEENTH CENTURY , edginess was experienced as a literal problem. The OED gives the first definition, occurring in 1822, as “the condition of having the outlines too clearly marked; angularity, hardness of outline.” This problem of unsightly outlines was solved, I suggest, by an extensive use of fringe throughout the Victorian period. These many miles of trimming performed symbolic work for a culture whose anxieties seemed to gather at …
Victorian Writing about Risk
In Victorian Writing about Risk, first published in 2000, Elaine Freedgood explores the geography of risk produced by a wide spectrum of once-popular literature, including works on political economy, sanitary reform, balloon flight, Alpine mountaineering and African exploration. The consolations offered by this geography of risk are precariously predicated on the stability of dominant Victorian definitions of people and places. Women, men, the la…
