Abstract:
Challenges traditional scholarship on absurdist literature, privileging the
reader and the genre’s stylistic achievements.
What is the literary absurd? What are its key textual features? How can it be
analysed? How do different readers respond to absurdist literature? Taking the
theories and methodologies of stylistics as its underlying analytical
framework, Reading the Absurd tackles each of these questions. Selected key
works in English literature are examined in depth to reveal significant
aspects of absurd style. Its analytical approach combines stylistic inquiry
with a cognitive perspective on language, literature and reading which sheds
new light on the human experience of literary reading. By exploring the
literary absurd as a linguistic and experiential phenomena, while at the same
time reflecting upon its essential historical and cultural situation, Joanna
Gavins brings a new perspective to the absurd aesthetic.
