{"product_id":"literature-and-the-taste-of-michael-wood-9780521606530","title":"Literature and the Taste of Knowledge","description":"What does literature know? Does it offer us knowledge of its own or does it only interrupt and question other forms of knowledge? This book answers and prolongs these questions through the close examination of individual works and the exploration of a broad array of examples. Chapters on Henry James, Kafka, and the form of the villanelle are interspersed with wider-ranging inquiries into forms of irony, indirection and the uses of fiction. Examples range from Auden to Proust and Rilke, and from Calvino to Jean Rhys and Yeats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521606535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521606530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 6.08w x 0.52d","brand":"Michael Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583715995903,"sku":"9780521606530","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97c0661e-126b-43f7-992e-60c188bb8736.jpg?v=1701883165","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literature-and-the-taste-of-michael-wood-9780521606530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
