Synopsis

An examination of the novel from Richardson to Nabokov in relation to the printing and publishing industry. Blending literary theory with a historical analysis of communications, Couturier carries the debate of the novel beyond the pioneering work of Booth and Genette, while responding to and taking issue with the writings of Foucault, Baudrillard, McLuhan and Barthes. Barthes' famous assertion of "the death of the author" has led to novels being treated as nothing more than a semiotic object - a bundle of signs, independent of authorial intention.
