Moving beyond the use of literature as mere ear witness to history, this collection brings out the complexity of sonic figuration in literature and literary studies, suggesting how this attentiveness to sound might anticipate, illuminate, and enrich the contemporary field of sound studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe very category of the literary, considered as a subset of language writ large, has often hinged on the particular attention that literary works draw to their own sound, whether that sound be psychologically rehearsed, as in silent reading, or acoustically realized, as in a theatrical performance. Weaving together methods and concepts drawn from both literary and sound studies, these essays make legible literature's complex role in shaping and writing a history of sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eyasser elhariry\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of French at Dartmouth College, USA, and the author of \u003ci\u003ePacifist Invasions: Arabic, Translation, and the Postfrancophone Lyric\u003c\/i\u003e (2017), and editor of \u003ci\u003eCultures du mysticisme\u003c\/i\u003e (2017), \u003ci\u003e Critically Mediterranean: Temporalities, Aesthetics, and Deployments of a Sea in Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e (2018), \u003ci\u003eThe Postlingual Turn\u003c\/i\u003e (2021), \u003ci\u003eSounds Senses\u003c\/i\u003e (2021), and \u003ci\u003eAbdelkébir Khatibi: Literature and Theory\u003c\/i\u003e (2022).
