On the contrary, he argues, quotation must be understood in its historical function, its questioning of the past's unrealized possibilities--possibilities for the present and even the future. Laying to rest once and for all the notion that citing the texts of others is little more than inspired plagiarism, Greaney provides a fascinating study of a philosophical practice that he calls, after Foucault, 'the frugal lyricism of quotation.' --Marjorie Perloff, author of Unoriginal Genius: Poetry by Other Means in the New Century In this groundbreaking and provocative study of the practice of quotation at the heart of contemporary conceptual writing and art, Patrick Greaney challenges the view that the use of quotation spells the end of authorship, of the individual voice.

This is the kind of book the most ambitious critic aspires to write. --Craig Dworkin, author of No Medium Author InformationPatrick Greaney is associate professor of German and comparative literature at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
