It suggests that silence is best understood according to two categories: apophasis and reticence. Apophasis is associated with theology, and relates to a silence of ineffability and transcendence; reticence is associated with phenomenology, and relates to a silence of listenership and speechlessness. In a series of diverse though interrelated readings, the study examines figures of broken silence and silent voice in the prose of Samuel Beckett, the notion of shared silence in Jean-Luc Nancy and Roland Barthes, and ways in which the poetry of Wallace Stevens mounts lyrical negotiations with forms of unsayability and speechlessness. 600 10 $a Beckett, Samuel, $d 1906-1989. 600 10 $a Barthes, Roland. 600 10 $a Nancy, Jean-Luc. 600 10 $a Stevens, Wallace, $d 1879-1955. 650 0 $a Silence in literature. 650 0 $a Silence (Philosophy) 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Gould, Thomas. $t Silence in modern literature and philosophy. $d Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, [2018] $z 9783319934792 $w (OCoLC)1044733619 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024343.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202011824.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBAE267EE19111E89124B82197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
