Reviews

'Gott argues persuasively for a kinship of sensibility between Gustave Flaubert and T. S. Eliot. He locates the shared presence in their writings of what he calls 'ascetic modernism'. The perfectionist novelist and the poet agonised by redemptive possibilities meet and blend in these pages; the result is a book that is fascinating and original.' Michael O'Neill, Durham University
