Remembering and the Sound of Words - Mallarme, Proust, Joyce, Beckett

Zusatztext Don't just read this book at your local culture-park. Don't just borrow it. Don't just order it for your library. Buy it. I'd even suggest stealing it! but Adam Piette deserves the royalties. You won't regret doing so. Klappentext In this book Adam Piette establishes fascinating new links between sound effects and the representation of memory in literary texts. He sets out a workable taxonomy of sound-repetitions in prose and formulates! through a theory of alerting-devices! the ways in which the reader's attention is drawn to the acoustic surface of the text. Piette scrutinizes Mallarme's prose-poetry! Proust's musical syntax! Joyce's memory-rhymes (from the Portrait of the Artist through Ulysses to Finnegans Wake)! and Beckett's prose and drama! demonstrating that sound effects act as intricate reminders of memory-traces in the text. Despite how widely the four writers diverge in their representations of memory! Piette shows that the use of this memory-rhyme technique is common to them all. Zusammenfassung The work of Mallarme, Proust, Joyce and Beckett is discussed in this text in relation to remembering and the sound of words. It should be of value to comparative literature students and specialists, and linguists, particularly those concerned with phonosemantics.
