Anne Toner examines how ellipsis marks - dots, dashes and asterisks - are so often fundamental to literary meaning. Her unique study traces their development from the sixteenth century to the present day, featuring the work of major English writers, including Jonson, Shakespeare, Richardson, Sterne, Meredith and Woolf.
