"A compelling post-45 cultural history; grounded in rich historical research.... What Literary Rebels ultimately exposes—and this may be its most lasting legacy—is the increasing privatization of the humanities and of creative writing in particular, as neoliberal capitalism proves remarkably adept, continuously, at incorporating into itself even the most ""outside"" of literary rebellions. * Modern Philology * Written in accessible language. Well researched, informative and...extremely interesting. * Times Literary Supplement * Jaillant expands the frame within which we can understand the rise of creative writing-from a somewhat parochial American story to a broader Anglo-American cultural phenomenon. * American Literary History. * Jaillant's research into British creative writing programmes explores new territory. * Literature & History. * Literary Rebels is, in the end, a book about desire: the contradictory desires of successful creative writers, the utopian ones of programme founders, the frustrated ones of aspiring novelists with day jobs. * English: Journal of the English Association. * Situated at the cutting edge of book history ...a timely examination of the beginnings of an academic behemoth of a discipline within the growth of the humanities. * Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada * Literary Rebels asks intriguing questions and presents extensive research, including a meticulous and impressive works cited section, to point subsequent scholars toward avenues of further exploration of the history of creative writers in Anglo-American universities. * Women: A Cultural Review. *"
