{"product_id":"gnomon-hugh-kenner-9781564784308","title":"Gnomon: Essays on Contemporary Literature","description":"The gnomon is the part of a sundial that casts its shadow, and Gnomon: Essays on Contemporary Literature represents, in its author s words, a report on ten years watching of shadows. Collecting the earliest short essays and reviews by a man who was arguably the greatest English-language critic-scholar of the twentieth century, Gnomon not only provides valuable, entertaining, and often scabrous insights into the workings of literature, as well as the books of such modern giants as William Carlos Williams, Ford Madox Ford, Wyndham Lewis, and Ezra Pound, but is itself a cross-section of the development of Kenner s own body of work, which in its beauty, irreverence, and disregard for convention proves him as much an artist as the men and women he spent his life championing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Kenner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1564784304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781564784308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Hugh Kenner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939658006783,"sku":"9781564784308","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ddf7ec6a-148d-4532-b830-76c1cbd4523b.jpg?v=1681442761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gnomon-hugh-kenner-9781564784308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
