Description

Klappentext An examination of the tension between imagination and exactness of expression in literature. Zusammenfassung Since the rise of scientific thinking the role of the imagination in literature has been a matter for debate. Is it an essential resource! or a treacherous purveyor of illusions? In this lecture Professor Beer suggests that one result of this uncertainty has been to set up a division between imaginative flights and the 'weighing of words'.
