This book will make a major contribution to our understanding not only of the work of LautrEamont but also to the function of originality, imitation and plagiarism in the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Exeter Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614649106583,"sku":"9780859894982","price":5044.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780859894982.webp?v=1775095223","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/poetics-of-the-pretext-reading-lautreamont-9780859894982","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
