Abstract

Literary scholars in the information age, whatever issues we may differ on, havelong shared a belief that the amount of “information” in literary language is not aphenomenon that can be empirically investigated. We tell our students, andremind each other, that the meaning in literary texts is inherently subjective,culture-specific, and contextual rather than fixed.
