Reviews

'The value of this book and its timeliness in a culture that increasingly emphasises the exchange value of academic study (in the name of impact, transferable skills and value for money) may just involve the many ways in which its contributors argue for the non-instrumentalist transformative power of the literary as itself underpinning the values of literary studies.' Andrew Bennett, Textual Practice
