Shapiro, Michael and Marianne Shapiro. Figuration in Verbal Art.
Princeton Univ Pr, 1988. 069106735X / 9780691067353 Hardcover Very Good
Clean, tight book. Applying a unified theoretical framework to a diverse range of subject matter, especially in Russian and Italian literature, Michael and Marianne Shapiro illustrate the centrality of figuration to imaginative art. In so doing, they carry out a sustained critique of contemporary literary criticism, particularly Deconstruction. The book draws from several disciplines; rhetoric, philosophy of language, linguistics, stylistics, semiotics, epistemology, and literary history are those most directly involved in its argument. Another contribution is the emphasis on historical and cultural questions as an inalienable part of any analysis of texts. 286pp. Bibliography.
