Rather than focus intently on the text and its infrastructure, academics treat literature as an ossuary for theoretical machinations and thus relegate art to serve as a vehicle for erudite discourse. This thesis hopes to offer a counter by underscoring the ways in which texts subvert extra-textual applications. In disavowing...
