Everyday Life - Sheringham, Michael (Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature, University of Oxford)

Comprises searching analyses of works in a variety of genres, including fiction, the essay, poetry, theatre, film, photography, and the visual arts. By demonstrating the contribution of Perec and others, and exploring the Surrealist inheritance, this book proposes a genealogy for the remarkable upsurge of interest in the everyday since the 1980s.
