The Number Sense of Nineteenth-Century British Literature

Beschreibung

Explores the way that numbers interact with literary forms in the nineteenth century. The close literary readings ask why some writers engage particularly with numbers; what kinds of work numbers perform for writers and readers when they are encountered within a text; and how numbers relate to the formal elements of poetry and fiction.
