Reviews

A very interesting and useful book.... is intellectual history of a very high order. It is consistently intelligent and interesting. Hans Bertens's book should be very useful for anyone interested in contemporary theoretical debates and a fine addition to any college course in literary or cultural theory..


`Thorough, systematic, accessible' - Margarita Chourova, Sofia University
