About this Item

Description: From the author's preface: ''The present book was conceived and written in the wake and at the suggestion of two innovative and seminal approaches to the literary text that came into prominence during the seventies. The first is that of the 'new rhetoric,' which, superseding the old-fashioned, taxonomic methods of description, put forward the possibility of a functional integration of rhetoric within the complexity of the literary text. The second is represented by the extensive research on semiotic theory and above all on cultural typology carried out by the Tartu school and by its most outstanding exponent, Jurij Lotman.'' BNDING/CONDITION: burgundy cloth with gilt text Fine condition; no dust jacket. bibliography, indexes. 8vo (about 8.75 inches tall). 267 pages.
