A generous, invigorating analysis of a powerful voice. Stella Deen's book vividly recounts how Clemence Dane secured authority as a literary critic by reconceiving the essay form, parrying the increasing power of academic critics and teaching her audience to become discerning readers, open to innovation but grounded in tradition. Rigorously researched and a pleasure to read.--Patrick Collier, Ball State University
