Coetzee and the Archive: Fiction, Theory, and Autobiography","description":"Making extensive use of the rich archival material contained within the Coetzee collections in Texas and South Africa, from the earliest drafts and notebooks to the research notes and digital records that document his later career as both writer and academic, this volume investigates the historical, cultural and aesthetic contexts of Coetzee's \u003ci\u003eoeuvre\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cutting-edge and interdisciplinary in approach, the book looks both at the prolific archival traces of Coetzee's early and middle work as well as examines his more recent work (which has yet to be archived), and a wide range of materials beyond the manuscripts, including family albums, school notebooks and correspondence. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Navigating Coetzee's interests in areas as diverse as literature, photography, autobiography, philosophy, animals and embodied life, this is also an exploration of the archive as both theory and practice. It raises questions about the tensions, contradictions and discoveries of archival research, and suggests that a literary engagement with the past is crucial to a recovery of culture in the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Farrant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350165956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350165953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Marc Farrant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943213138175,"sku":"9781350165953","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5ac0d790-b815-4bac-8257-1aa8af9c949c.jpg?v=1681496848","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jm-coetzee-and-the-archive-marc-farrant-9781350165953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
