Reviews

"""…Smith's excellent study of Gaston Bachelard will interest writers, philosophers, and scientists alike. Smith's lucid exposé of Bachelard's epistemology of science and the literary imagination brings the two aspects of his work together by showing how they dovetail. Also, Smith's study goes beyond the duality commonly associated with the French philosopher to identify a third area: time and consciousness. After that, every reader's imagination will be fired by the insights he brings to Bachelard's oeuvre."" — The Comparatist"
