Reviews
Scholars of eighteenth-century literature, natural philosophy, and early thought concerning enchantment will find Eighteenth- Century Fiction & the Reinvention of Wonder provocative, informative, and astutely argued. * Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, SHARP News * Tindal Kareem identifies and investigates textual strategies that helped determine the new contract between reader and text: defamiliarization, estrangement, narrative, suspense, the willing suspension of disbelief, engrossment, and reflection. * Norma Clarke, The Times Literary Supplement * Sarah Tindal Kareem's book is a genuinely original work that displays encyclopedic erudition and comprehensive scholarship encompassing many fields, including cognitive science and traditional history of philosophy. Kareem seems to have read just about everything; the thirty-page list of works cited is exhaustive, worth keeping as an invaluable bibliography. * John Richetti, The Journal of Eighteenth Century Fiction *
