This volume reconsiders On Late Style, Edward Said's final book, as a model of politically engaged comparativism and asks: how can classicists and other literary scholars respond to news and images from Gaza?
How does one know a whore is a whore? Upon what terms, standards, interpretive logics, and material practices does such knowledge depend? This book pursues these questions and, in so doing, discovers the extraordinary cultural labor necessary to produce and sustain the fiction of the "whore" as a readily apprehensible category of sexual knowledge.
This book uncovers the impact of the Romantic-era essay on the development of realism in the later nineteenth century. It discusses how the literary essay can illuminate the means by which writers felt they could know the world they inhabited.
