by PeterBarry (Author)
This book seeks to problematise the very notion of context, which has remained for the most part stubbornly un-theorised and un-examined. The book aims to set a distinction between 'deep' and 'broad' contexts, arguing that we need to counter the prevalence of the latter if literary studies is to avoid becoming a minor branch of history. -- .
