Reviews

"""Literary/Liberal Entanglements is timely, lively, provocative, and at once disturbing and fascinating in its implications for the future of what we still very broadly call 'literary studies.'. The essays in the volume, both individually and collectively, demonstrate with rigour, accessibility, clarity of purpose, and respect for the historio-‐cultural context, nuance, and habitus of each object of study why the work of the literary and of literary analysis not just matters or is relevant but demands our attention."" - Joel Faflak, Department of English, Western University"
