But I Digress

Klappentext Dr Johnson and whole hosts of grammarians disapproved of parentheses, but for countless poets they have been essential to their work. John Lennard provides a history of the poetic use of lunulae (the marks of parentheses) from their first appearance in England in 1494 to the present day, and shows how in each period the patterns of literary use have reflected technological, philosophical, and political developments. Zusammenfassung This study explores how poets and writers have used lunulae (the marks of parenthesis) through the ages, and how in each period the patterns of literary use have reflected, and continue to reflect, technological, philosophical and political developments.

Mr Lennard's illuminating interpretive analyses amply demonstrate the significance of the parenthesis.
