| DESCRIPTION |
|
thresholds of interpretation - encyclopedic survey of the customs & institutions, protocols & conventions, deft touches, finesses & wily casuistries operating in the 'border-lands' of the text- the 'poetics' of such paratexts as the forword, the dedication, the epigraph, the jacket copy - the devices by which a book, a text, situates itself in relation to reader, putatative public, & to a tradition or lineage of other texts, other authors. DARK HORSEY says-"Hullo, is this the Tradition, I'm an individual talent. Where do I join?" |
