Analyses the concepts that underpin Rancière’s thought on literature, scrutinising his interpretations of particular works
This collection of original essays engages with Rancière’s accounts of literature from across his body of work, putting his conceptual apparatus to work in acts of literary criticism. From his
archival investigations of the literary efforts of 19th-century workers to his engagements with specific novelists and poets, and from his concept of ’literarity’ to his central positioning of
the novel in his account of the three ’regimes’ of literary practice, this collection unearths, consolidates, evaluates and critiques Rancière’s work on and with literature.
