The List: The Uses and Pleasures of Cataloguing
Robert E. Belknap
A literary critic lovingly explores the ancient practice of list- making in literature, examining literary lists and the wide range of ways writers use them. From Sumerian account tablets and Homer's catalogue of ships to Tom Sawyer's earnings from his fence-painting scheme. Focuses on lists of four American Renaissance authors.
