This book concerns the framed center in selected literary
works of the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Such a
center involves a critical passage bracketed by two halves
of a text that feature language and/or plot that mirror each
other. Recognizing the author s formal emphasis on the critical
central passage encourages a thoughtful attention to it. Like
other literary techniques, including allegory and metaphor, the
framed center does not provide a single meaning, but rather
makes possible varied meanings depending on the work. And
often it features other literary patterns, including parallelism,
chiasmus, mise en abyme, and allusion. There have been
book-length studies of the framed center in literary works from
the Bible through Tristram Shandy, but no such studies have
addressed more recent literature. This book s analysis of the
framed center in literature of the last 180 years—in works by
Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Thoreau, Carroll, Joyce, Anderson,
Hemingway, Hammett, Chandler, Highsmith, Oates, and Zadie
Smith—advances interpretation of the design itself and of the
individual works, yielding critical breakthroughs. It also reveals
hitherto unknown correspondences among works of different
genres, periods, and nations. This book is a work of practical
criticism with substantial interpretive consequences, and it is
accessible to a broad audience.
