Information Compression of Literary Text: Artistic Detail
Literary text is unique in its both informativity and aesthetics. The detail marks an insignificant feature of a phenomenon or a situation, giving the reader the possibility to draw his or her own picture of the things described. The popularity of the artistic detail among authors arises out of its potential force to activate the reader’s perception, induce him or her to joint creative work, give space to his or her associative imagination. It economizes artistic means and creates the whole out of its part. More here
