Literatur weiß etwas – und zwar nicht nur mehr oder weniger Diffuses, sondern durchaus Konkretes, zum Beispiel über Krankheiten, über ökonomische Zusammenhänge oder über Logiken der Rechtsfindung. Gerade in einer Kultur, die sich selbst als Wissens- und Informationsgesellschaft beschreibt, wird deutlich, wie heikel es um die Unterscheidung von „hartem“ (=naturwissenschaftlich-technischem) und „weichem“ (=geisteswissenschaftlich-literaturbasiertem) Wissen steht. Schöne Literatur hat einen binären Leitcode, der sich entschieden von dem der Wissenschaften abgrenzt. Er lautet nicht wahr / falsch, sondern stimmig / nicht-stimmig. Soll heißen: gerade weil die epistemische Grundorientierung von Literatur eine andere ist als die der Wissenschaften, kann Literatur erfolgreich ein Spiel spielen, das da heißt: Ich seh etwas, was du nicht siehst.

What does literature know? Does it offer us knowledge of its own or does it only interrupt and question other forms of knowledge? This 2005 book seeks to answer and to prolong these questions through the close examination of individual works and the exploration of a broad array of examples. Chapters on Henry James, Kafka, and the form of the villanelle are interspersed with wider-ranging inquiries into forms of irony, indirection and the uses of fiction, with examples ranging from Auden to Proust and Rilke, and from Calvino to Jean Rhys and Yeats. Literature is a form of pretence. But every pretence could tilt us into the real, and many of them do. There is no safe place for the reader: no literalist's haven where fact is always fact; and no paradise of metaphor, where our poems, plays and novels have no truck at all with the harsh and shifting world.

This challenging study of a number of American writers belongs in the tradition of the history-of-ideas approach to literary history. It offers an analysis of American literary developments and the relationship between writers and the philosophical and social thought of their times. Martin examines the works of Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson, Crane, Frost, Pound, Hemingway, Dos Passos, Stevens, Williams, and several others with a sharp eye for the artistic consequences of changing epistemological assumptions and for the connection of ideas and form.
