Literary notes about idiosyncratic (AI summary)
The term “idiosyncratic” in literature frequently conveys a sense of unique, sometimes quirky, individuality in style, character, or thematic presentation. Authors often employ it to delineate qualities that resist conventional norms, whether referring to the distinctive nature of language or the peculiar traits of a character. For instance, it may describe a character’s singular appeal or mannerisms that set them apart from typical portrayals [1, 2], while in discussions of style, it can denote unusual spelling or punctuation choices that contribute to a work’s personal signature [3, 4]. Moreover, “idiosyncratic” is sometimes used to highlight aspects of physical settings or conceptual frameworks that are as distinctive as they are memorable [5, 6].
