About the book

"This volume marks a shift. For it reveals how literary semiotics at present has moved toward methodological pluralism. The sharp lines of division, especially between the two most dominant approaches, those of C.S. Peirce and Ferdinand de Saussure, have dissolved and a manifest synergy has emerged from the deepening appreciating [sc. appreciation] that the focal concern of literary scholarship is irreducibly heterogeneous. This heterogeneity necessitates a variety of approaches. ... The contributors to this volume highlight the communicative functions of literary texts and, more controversially, the representational possibilities secured by literary production."--From the dust jacket (p. 3).
