\n
The \u201cgreat iconoclast of literary criticism\u201d reinvents the study of the novel.<\/strong><\/div>\n
In this groundbreaking book, Franco Moretti argues that literature scholars should stop reading books and start counting, graphing, and mapping them instead. In place of the traditionally selective literary canon of a few hundred texts, Moretti offers charts, maps and time lines, developing the idea of \u201cdistant reading\u201d into a full-blown experiment in literary historiography, in which the canon disappears into the larger literary system. Charting entire genres\u2014the epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novel\u2014as well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, he shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a rare literary critic who attracts so much public attention, and there\u2019s a good reason: few are as hell-bent on rethinking the way we talk about literature.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cThe great iconoclast of literary criticism… Moretti’s discourse, as has often been noted, is marked by the same subtlety and unpredictability as his fellow Italian, Umberto Eco.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cMr. Moretti makes his most forceful case yet for his approach, a heretical blend of quantitative history, geography and evolutionary theory.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
