Possible recommendations: readings on classical and contemporary theory of knowledge in literary studies
Hi there! I am an MA student (English studies) who, recently finishing an exam session and beginning the long-awaited holiday vacations, decided to look out for some interesting readings for the summer.
I was thinking about applying for PhD program next year, and althought I am still not sure as to the exact project of mine, I have some ideas.
I have a growing interest in theory of knowledge/epistemology in context of literary studies and decided to pursue this further, to see if there's anything interesting and worthwhile to be done.
With that being said, I am a little bit clueless as to possible readings I could read to somehow guide my topic research.
So far I found somet interesting sources while digging in library:
- Eco's Six Walks in the Fictional Woods,
- his The Limits of Interpretation,
- some collection of his essays on interpretation and/or hermeneutics (Eco)
- a book Ontology of Fiction (not Eco).
- and a book called Fight for Substance: Study in Literary Theory of Knowledge
The last one is a Polish text of literary criticism, not sure if it's ever been translated te English hence the translated title.
If anyone would have any ideas, recommendations, tips (or questions!) as to my initial research, I would be much obliged :))
