Description
This volume presents a discussion from various positions in literary
and cultural studies about the relationship between textual and
contextual readings of literature. In understanding literary works
do we rather map texts onto their contexts or contexts onto texts?
And what are the rules of projection? By theoretical argument as
well as exemplary cases Text or Context contributes to the current
discussion between text-oriented literary criticism and contextbiased
cultural studies.
