Summary

"Sound has always played a crucial role in literature and literary study. The literary category has often hinged on the particular attention that literary works draw to their own sound, whether that sound be psychologically rehearsed, as in silent reading, or acoustically realized, as in a theatrical performance. Considering literary works drawn from a range of traditions, this text brings out the ways that literary writers and commentators have used and studied sound from antiquity to the present. The authors posit literature as a site of sonic invention and reconfiguration and an opportunity to enrich the field of sound studies"-- Provided by publisher.
