Forms of List-Making: Epistemic, Literary, and Visual Enumeration by Roman Alexander Barton

This open access book attempts to show that an examination of the list’s formal features has the potential to produce genuine insights into the production of knowledge, the poetics of literature and the composition of visual art. Following a conceptual introduction, the twelve single-authored chapters place the list in a variety of well-researched contexts, including ancient Roman historiography, medieval painting, Enlightenment periodicals, nineteenth-century botanical geography, American Beat poetry and contemporary photobooks. With its interdisciplinary approach, this book is a unique contribution to an emerging field dedicated to the study of lists.

Previously, he held a two-year postdoctoral research fellowship at the ERC-funded project Lists in Literature and Culture. He has published extensively on eighteenth-century philosophy and fiction. Currently, he investigates the history of the literary list and modernist short drama.
