内容説明
As today's new technologies challenge the reign of writing, the author of this study puts current concerns about such a change into the context of history. In the 18th and 19th centuries in Britain, he argues, the "new" technology was writing itself. How did its proliferation - in print and through silent reading - coalesce into the dominant forms of literary modernity, and with what consequences? Siskin argues that what changed, strikingly and fundamentally, were ways of knowing and of working. Admonitions against young women reading novels were not merely matters of Augustan conservatism, but signals of those shifts: they warned against the capacity of the technology to change those who used it. Despite such caution, Britain saw, between 1700 and 1830, the advent of both modern disciplinarity and modern professionalism. These new divisions of labour were the work of writing, as was the engendering, at their intersection, of the discipline which took writing itself as its professional work - literature.
