Description: Recognitions by Terence Cave Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A study of a neglected strand of Aristotelian poetics - anagnorisis, or recognition - exploring its history and the way it has recurred in fiction and drama from the Odyssey to thrillers by Le Carré. Terence Cave examines recognition in English, French, and German literature, including the works of Shakespeare, James, Racine, and Goethe. Publisher Description Recognitions is about the most neglected strand of Aristotelian poetics - anagnorisis, or recognition. It is a topic that has conventionally had a bad press: the recognition scene is regarded as an implausible contrivance, a feeble way of resolving a plot the author can no longer control. But why do such scenes occur in every kind of drama and narrative fiction from the Odyssey and Oedipus to thrillers by Le Carré - and how is itthey continue to surprise, amuse, and disturb? Terence Caves book first traces the history of the term anagnorisis and explores the ways in which it continues to be a valuable focus for theoretical reflection.Then, in a series of chapters analysing examples of recognition plots from English, French, and German literature, including Shakespeare, James, Conrad, Racine, Corneille, and Goethe, the book demonstrates how recognition must be seen as a topic of the first importance, perhaps the most strictly literary of all topics in poetics. Author Biography Terence Cave is also a Fellow of the British Academy.
