The volume's organizing theme is textual studies, the domain of which, in one contributor's words, is the \"genesis, transmission, and editing of texts.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors seek to extend the discussion about textual studies beyond any narrow professional scope; thus, none of the essays assumes any training in textual studies. Also, the focus of the book is on the literary genre most familiar to most readers: the novel. Authors discussed include Willa Cather, Joseph Conrad, Theodore Dreiser, William Faulkner, D. H. Lawrence, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany people read literary works, but few do so with a steady sense of their constructedness as texts--of the ways in which \"genesis, transmission, and editing\" have shaped them as conveyors of meaning. This book shows that the experience of reading is more rewarding for such awareness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Rivero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.99w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820322278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexander Pettit is an associate professor of English at the University of North Texas.
