McGann moves toward his goal by means of four special sets of investigations: the relation between the so-called \"autonomous\" poem and its political\/historical contexts; the relation of reception and history to literary interpretation; the problems of canon and the characterization of period; and the ideological dimensions of both literary works and criticism of such works. Central to his enquiry is the notion that, whether viewed as an experience or as an event, a literary work is a nexus of various concrete social determinations that can be specified as an aesthetic order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592004944023,"sku":"9780198117506","price":6744.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198117506.webp?v=1774975648","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-beauty-of-inflections-literary-investigations-in-historial-method-and-theory-9780198117506","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
