The Telling of the Act

Peter Cryle

earliest edition we have, 2001 University of Delaware Press, 2001 hardcover 433 pages

"This study describes the emergence of a new thematic regime that comes together during the second half of the eighteenth century, and takes on a recognizably modern shape in the course of the nineteenth. The change decribed here is quite profound, although it does not take the form of a seismic event. It is, rather, the net effect of a long process of thematic drift and realignment."--BOOK JACKET.
