Reviews

Although Bonnie Costello's critical monographs have been few and far between, they always prove to be of lasting stature, invariably securing a firm position within English-language literary criticism. ---Grzegorz Czemiel, Explorations: A Journal of Language and Literature Winner of the 2017 Warren-Brooks Award for Outstanding Literary Criticism, Robert Penn Warren Center and Western Kentucky University I am confident that Costello's statement of pronouns' referential ambiguity and elasticity accompanied with her relentless effort to delimit the boundaries of their references is of a great informative value, but it also provides moral support. It is so because the book will keep every critic's head upright in all those moments when they feel they are drowning in uncertainty, confusion and despair about the poets' us and them . ---Ladislav Vit, Svet Literatury As Bonnie Costello shows in her deft, knowledgable and consistently interesting study, Auden was drawn all his writing life to meditate just such questions, and to write poems with, as she puts it, 'a clear civil motive.' ---Seamus Perry, London Review of Books
