Is it an essential resource, or a treacherous purveyor of illusions? In this lecture Professor Beer suggests that one result of this uncertainty has been to set up a divison (which continues to pervade literary enterprises) between imaginative flights on the one hand and the \"weighing of words\" on the other. His examples are drawn from a wide range of writers, including Johnson, Dickens, Hopkins, Woolf and Wordsworth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943769145632,"sku":"NEW0521459540","price":45.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/against-finality-inaugural-lecture-delivered-4th-february-1993-0521459540","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
