- This 94,000-word monograph is the culmination of 6 years’ intellectual labour and offers the first in-depth study of waste in 20th-century fiction. Drawing on ideas from anthropology, archaeology, sociology, art history, and behavioural economics as well as literary criticism, it challenges existing theoretical approaches to waste in literature and the arts. It develops a new paradigm for understanding waste’s significance in 20th-century culture, via analyses, from multiple perspectives and in relation to different contexts, of waste’s role across a broad range of complex and difficult to assess Anglo-American, French, and Italian texts published between 1900 and 2014.
