Description

Contrary to a widespread sense that literature has become increasingly irrelevant to our culture and everyday life, Royle brilliantly traces a strangely compelling 'literary turn'. Starting with an 'Advertisement' (which literally means a 'turning towards') like an 18th-century novel, he explores images of swerving, loss of control, digressing and deviating to form this new theory of literature.

Author Biography:

Nicholas Royle is Professor of English at the University of Sussex. His books include Telepathy and Literature (1991), After Derrida (1995), E. M.
