商品簡介
Essays consider the themes of end and ending in literature, theology, linguistics, and film, exploring different kinds of ends in terms of their form and function and their cultural, philosophical, and theological significance at large and small scales in different genres, media, and disciplinary contexts. Among the topics are a corpus-linguistic exploration of endings in short stories, eucatastrophic consolations in literature and theology, a re-assessment of Byron's terminal irony, coming to terms with the inescapable ephemerality of art, and the politics of endings in South African writing 1948-2000.
