| Description: | Genette shows how paratexts - titles, forewords, publishers' blurbs - shape both individual readings and literature as cultural institution. In ''Paratexts, '' an English translation of ''Seuils, '' Gerard Genette shows how the special pragmatic status of paratextual declarations requires a carefully calibrated analysis of their illocutionary force. |
