Introduction -- The twists and turns of life: Cervantes's Trials of Persiles and Sigismunda / Jeremy Robbins -- Digressive and progressive movements: sympathy and sexuality in Tristram Shandy; or, plain tales / Judith Hawley -- Little Dorrit: Dickens, circumlocution, unconscious thought / Jeremy Tambling -- Concerning metaphor, digression and rhyme (fetish aesthetics and the walking poem) / Ross Chambers -- Henry James, in parenthesis / Ian F.A. Bell -- A slice of watermelon: the rhetoric of digression in Chekhov's The lady with the dog / Peter J. Rabinowitz and Corinne Bancroft -- "Let's forget all I have just said": diversions and digressions in Gidean narratives / David Walker -- Errant eyes: digression, metaphor and desire in Marcel Proust's In search of lost time / Margaret Topping -- Virginia Woolf and digression: adventures in consciousness / Laura Marcus -- Stealing the story: Robert Walser's robber-novel / Samuel Frederick -- Negotiating tradition: Flann O'Brien's tales of digression and subversion / Flore Coulouma -- Going on: digression and consciousness in the Beckett trilogy / Edmund J. Smyth -- Straight line or aimless wandering? Italo Calvino's way to digression / Olivia Santovetti -- Roving with a compass; digression, the novel and the creative imagination in Javier Mar�ias / Alexis Grohmann -- The sense of Sebald's endings-- and beginnings / J.J. Long.

This landmark collection of fifteen essays by a group of leading scholars is an original and wide-ranging exploration of digression in major works by fifteen of the finest European writers from the early modern period to the present day, with an emphasis on the twentieth century. Studies of works by Miguel de Cervantes, Laurence Sterne, Charles Dickens, Charles Baudelaire, Henry James, Anton Chekhov, And�r Gide, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Robert Walser, Flann O'Brien, Samuel Beckett, Italo Calvino, Javier Ma�ras and W.G. Sebald celebrate the variety of forms of digression and show it to be more than just a traditionally neglected rhetorical figure or literary technique: digression emerges as a way of making the most of the potential of the freeedom that narratives and the novel form can offer and of contemplating a world in which, as Henry James said, 'really, universally, relations stop nowhere'.
