Reviews

I'm more than happy to see the postmodern supplanted. It's time! * Linda Hutcheon, University Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Toronto, Canada * Rudrum and Stavris have put together a fascinating collection of speculations, arguments, and manifestos that engage in very different ways with the question of postmodernism's demise. That this question is shown to involve asking whether there actually is or was a single cultural tendency that can be labelled postmodernism , or whether its aftermath can be similarly labelled by a single term, is a sign of the editors' own open-minded (postmodern?) approach. * Derek Attridge, Professor of English, University of York, UK * It may well be, as the editors suggest, that postmodernism was the last time we looked coherent enough to oppose ourselves. If so, then Supplanting the Postmodern provides the dual service of recalling, as postmodernism becomes forgettable, its inescapability, while doing away with all efforts to prolong it. I have difficulty imagining serious aesthetic discussion apart from the background this book provides. * R. M. Berry, Professor of English, Florida State University, USA * A useful collection of writings, helpfully designed to make students think about contemporary cultural dynamics. * Ian Patterson, University of Cambridge, UK *
