This title, originally published in 2000, explores the significance of punctuation, footnotes, epigraphs, typography, cover design, white space, and marginalia in shaping the meaning of literary texts. It challenges the traditional neglect of these elements in literary criticism and offers a fresh perspective through a series of essays. The book begins with a proposal for a new theory of punctuation, followed by interpretations of specific marks in the works of various writers, including Spenser, Richardson, and George Eliot. The second section delves into the consequences of this approach, examining editorial practice and responsibility and featuring insights from editors. The essays aim to encourage readers to consider the interplay between textual and literary meaning, offering a comprehensive exploration of the role of punctuation, footnotes, epigraphs, typography, cover design, white space, and marginalia in shaping the meaning of literary texts.
