Reviews
``Dvořák...is an adept reader of theory and her application of history, philosophy, and culture to Buckler's intentions and results in his prose represents the engagement of a deeply intelligent mind with material entirely worthy of respect and celebration...She indicates clearly to readers of her book how importan and lasting his effort s with words remain....Dvořák's approach to Buckler is far ahead of its time....With this book Dvořák establishes herself as a major critical voice.'' -- J.A. Wainwright, American Review of Canadian Studies ``In her conclusion, Dvořák makes an admirable argument for placing Buckler at the `crossroads' between `nineteenth-century cultural stances' (Platonic, Renaissance, and Romantic `phenomenological and ontological concerns') and `modernist' aesthetic philosophies, even anticipating `postmodern discursive techniques.''' -- Barbara Pell -- University of Toronto Quarterly, 72:1, Winter 2002-3, 200409
