'Reading the Absurd is an elegant and eclectic exploration of the concept of the absurd in a range of literary genres. Productively enriched by reader response theories, Gavins's model of the absurd is built solidly on the analytic techniques of contemporary stylistics and cognitive-poetics. In all, this is a compelling and groundbreaking study of a concept that has hitherto been largely the preserve of drama and theatre studies.' Paul Simpson, Professor of English Language, Queen's University What is the literary absurd? What are its key textual features? How can it be analysed? How do different readers respond to absurdist literature? Taking the theories and methodologies of stylistics as its underlying analytical framework, Reading the Absurd tackles each of these questions. Selected key works in English literature are examined in depth to reveal significant aspects of absurd style. Its analytical approach combines stylistic inquiry with a cognitive perspective on language, literature and reading which sheds new light on the human experience of literary reading. By exploring the literary absurd as a linguistic and experiential phenomena, while at the same time reflecting upon its essential historical and cultural situation, Joanna Gavins brings a new perspective to the absurd aesthetic. It is essential reading for advanced students and scholars in cognitive poetics, stylistics, English literature and linguistics. Joanna Gavins is a Senior Lecturer in the School of English at the University of Sheffield.
