About this book

Stanley Cavell is best known for his work in film studies, Shakespearean criticism and the links between psychoanalysis and literary theory. This book is the first full-length philosophical study of his work as a whole, and it shows how his wider project began from his reading of the ordinary-language philosophy of Austin and Wittgenstein.

According to the book, Cavell's project is held together by a steady concern with the ordinary. Readers working in philosophy, aesthetics or literary theory, and anyone who has read Cavell on film or Shakespeare and wants the philosophical groundwork behind it, will find the study a focused guide.
