The Technologies of Literature

FAIN: FA-12236-78

Richard Poirier
Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8559)

A three-part study on the technologies of literature. Part I will explore some of the ways technology, as a manifestation of power, is conceived and treated in English and American literature since Spenser. Part II will be concerned with technology as a characteristic of literature itself--in the technique of formal constraint. Part III will consider the technology of literary study.
