This text offers the first systematic account of modern literary and philosophical conceptions of the sentence. It opens by demonstrating that there is little agreement about what a sentence is, what makes one effective or elegant, and whether there are aesthetic or political grounds for resisting its organizational hegemony. The chapters explore a range of attempts to challenge traditional logical, grammatical, and stylistic paradigms.
