Friends,
Silence: A Literary History by Kate McLoughlin has recently been published by Oxford University Press. It comes in at 720 pages and is described, properly, as ‘A majestic literary history, revealing the power and possibilities of silence found in literary works… It traces silences over twelve centuries of English literature, from the solitary states of exile on icy seas described in Anglo-Saxon poems to searches for silence in our own Age of Pings.”
