Item description from seller

pp. 75-122. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: Literary critics have begun very much to look to their ends. Closure has become a central critical concern, as a glance at the items listed under that heading in the MLA International Bibliography since 1981 soon makes clear, and recent years have seen the devotion to the subject of the 1978 issue of Nineteenth Century Fiction and the 1984 issue of Yale French Studies. This interest is not entirely new. The application of terms like open and closed to literary works has been familiar to English readers at least since R. M. Adams Strains of Discord: Studies in Literary Openness (Ithaca 1958); continental readers will think perhaps first of Umberto Ecos Lopera in movimento e la coscienza dellepoca first published in 1959 and then rewritten as the first chapter of his Opera aperta - Forma e indeterminazione nelle poetiche contemporanee (Milan 1962) = Loeuvre ouverte (Paris 1966)3. The central focus here has been on the novel, short-story and other narrative forms, in works such as A. Friedmans The Turn of the Novel (Oxford 1966), D. FL Richters Fables End, Completeness and Closure in Rhetorical Fiction (Chicago and London 1974), D. A. Millers Narrative and its Discontents: Problems of Closure in the Traditional Novel (Princeton 1981), and the chapters on endings in H. Bonheims excellent empirical study The Narrative Modes, Techniques of the Short Story (Cambridge 1982). Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
