{"product_id":"the-mechanic-muse-9780195054231","title":"The Mechanic Muse","description":"With his customary wit and erudition, one of America's most celebrated and distinguished critics examines the response of literary Modernism to environmental changes caused by technology.\u003cbr\u003e Focusing on Eliot, Pound, Joyce, and Beckett, Hugh Kenner explores how inventions as various as the linotype, the typewriter, the subway, and the computer altered the way these writers viewed and depicted the world. Whether discussing Joyce's acute awareness of the nuances of typesetting or Beckett's experiments with a \"proto-computer-language,\" Kenner consistently approaches the works of these authors from fresh angles and offers a wealth of anecdotes and asides that will delight both the general reader and the literary specialist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Kenner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195054231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHugh Kenner\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of English at The Johns Hopkins University and author of many books, including \u003cem\u003eA Colder Eye: The Modern Irish Writers\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Pound Era\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Poet: T.S.
