Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth examination of the concept of 'nonsense' as a literary device from its beginnings in philosophy and language through its development in the literary and theatrical practices of the 19th century. The author argues that 'nonsense' is not merely the absence of sense, but rather a complex and meaningful mode of expression that can be used to explore the limits of language, challenge conventional modes of thought, and create new forms of art. The book traces the evolution of 'nonsense' from its roots in ancient Greek philosophy through its use in medieval literature and the Renaissance, and finally to its flowering in the works of Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and other Victorian writers. Along the way, the author provides close readings of specific works of literature and theater, demonstrating how 'nonsense' can be used to create humor, satire, and even profound philosophical insights. This book will be of interest to scholars of literature, theater, and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the creative potential of 'nonsense'. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332046713_0
