What is Donoghue, William. Mannerist Fiction: Pathologies of Space from Rabelais to Pynchon. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2014. x+185 pp. about?

William Donoghue's book is provocative on several fronts: it pushes readers to think in flexible ways about causality in intellectual history and in counterintuitive ways about time and space. It pushes modernist scholars such as me to recognize that modernist "newness" did not arise in vacuo, but has a prehistory. It develops these themes in a broad interdisciplinary discussion (encompassing philosophy, literary history, art history, and the history of science, among other topics) about multiple historical periods, reaching as far back as the ancient Hebrew prophets.
