One of the many strengths of Modernism and Close Reading is how it stages and instrumentalizes this challenge-how it organizes all those moving parts but without comprising complexity or specificity. This volume does not shy away from conceptual or disciplinary messiness... For those interested in modernism, close reading, or the history of criticism-for those willing to immerse themselves in the innumerable, still expanding relations entailed therein-this collection is absolutely worth reading. * Joshua Gang, The Review of English Studies *

The collection is highly serviceable for all academics not only as a handy refresher-or a primer for what some literature departments might have removed from their curricula-but also for its invaluable look into the very recent developments in the discipline. * Jolanta Wawrzycka, James Joyce Quarterly * One of the many strengths of Modernism and Close Reading is how it stages and instrumentalizes this challenge-how it organizes all those moving parts but without comprising complexity or specificity.
