In a lively and provocative fashion, Peculiar Language addresses some of the most intractable problems implicit in discussions of the language of literature. In Derek Attridge's view, all attempts by writers, critics, and literary theorists to define such language have involved self-contradiction; literary language is both set in opposition to ordinary language and valued for its closeness to authentic speech.
