A history of the chapter from its origins in antiquity to today

Testo aggiuntivo

"Dames mixes close reading with digital humanities methodology to investigate how authors used the chapter not to organize but to reflect the pauses and temporal shifts in their characters’ lives. Dames even investigates the use of chapters by examining Agnès Varda’s films. . . . Recommended."
