"The ingeniously organised essays in Literature Now provide an up-to-the-moment examination of recent trends in literary theory. The volume covers a comprehensive range of topics, including digital humanities and eco-critical studies, as well as welcome assessments of revisionist developments in such fields as genre studies, book history and narratology. As such, the collection promises to provide a thorough mapping of the central concepts that arise in contemporary discussions of literary history.--Professor Phillip Sicker ""Fordham University"""
