A Sense of Things: The Object Matter of American Literature Paperback – December 1, 2004

I'm in the process of writing my Master's Thesis in English literature and I was hunting for an accessible but in-depth introduction to Thing Theory and poststructural material culture. Bill Brown is a (the) master of the field and his articulation of things and their significance in major works of literature was provocative and highly instructive. The book provides an exhaustive review of the field/theory and applies it in interesting and novel ways: works well as both an intro and a complication of material culture/thing theory studies. (May be a bit dense for true newbies to the field)
