Summary note
Analyses and contextualises the concepts that underpin Ranci÷re's thought on literature, scrutinising his interpretations of particular works. This collection of 13 original essays engages with Ranci÷re's accounts of literature from across his work, putting his conceptual apparatus to work in acts of literary criticism. From his archival investigations of the literary efforts of 19th-century workers to his engagements with specific novelists and poets, and from his concept of 'literarity' to his central positioning of the novel in his account of the three 'regimes' of literary practice, this collection unearths, consolidates, evaluates and critiques Ranci÷re's work on and with literature.
