{"product_id":"the-rhetoric-of-the-page-laurie-maguire-9780198862109","title":"The Rhetoric of the Page","description":"This wide-ranging and entertaining book explores blank space from incunabula to Google books. Blanks are a paradox--simultaneously nothing and something, gesturing to what was once there or might be there. They are also a creative opportunity for readers as well as writers: readers respond to what is not there and writers come to anticipate that response. Thus, blank space develops literary and ludic applications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter focuses on one typographical form of what is not there on the page: physical gaps (Chapter One), marks of incompletion such as \u003cem\u003e\u0026amp;c \u003c\/em\u003e(Chapter Two), and the asterisk as a stand-in for things that cannot be said (Chapter Three). By looking at the early-modern page as a visual unit as well as a verbal unit, this volume shows how the relationship between textual layout and textual content is as productive for writers as it is for readers. \u003cem\u003eMise-en-page\u003c\/em\u003e influences readers in the same way that rhetoric influences readers. It is thus possible to speak of 'the rhetoric of the page'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Maguire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198862105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198862109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2021","brand":"Laurie Maguire","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982706868479,"sku":"9780198862109","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9107b84-91bb-4984-b822-f46502168c24.jpg?v=1683262613","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rhetoric-of-the-page-laurie-maguire-9780198862109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
