Description
In his collection, "Prospecting", Wolfgang Iser first set forth the new area of critical inquiry which he termed literary anthropology. Now, in "The Fictive and the Imaginary", Iser presents an exploration of this new field in an attempt to explain the human need for the "particular form of make-believe" known as literature. The text ranges from the Renaissance pastoral to Coleridge to Sartre and Beckett.
