Reviews
What distinguishes Con Coroneos's Space, Conrad, and Modernity is panache, that incomparable blend of wit and chutzpah... A series of brilliant intellectual riffs that soar like jazz solos, proceeding by association rather than logic, from John Buchan to Orson Welles, from seances to semiotics... The book appeals to the reader who looks to criticism for a serious yet playful engagement with ideas. For this idea-laden, theory-laced work of literary criticism is above all a good read. That this description is not an oxymoron suggests that Coroneos's book is a rare and notable achievement. English Literature in Transition 1880-1920
