'Levay's Violent Minds is an ambitious, complex, and persuasive argument for the centrality of crime to some of the core projects of modernism ... erudite and evocative, it combines rigorous overviews of important scholarship on modernism/modernity with highly insightful and suggestive readings of individual modernist texts.' Christopher Raczkowski, Modern Philology 'A major virtue of the book is its multisided approach to the collocation of modernism and crime or criminality ... Violent Minds is the kind of book that reaches beyond its own corpus of fictional works to make us, as readers, reconsider our settled assumptions about genre, style, and popularity.' Paul Sheehan, Modern Language Quarterly 'Matthew Levay's scholarly yet highly readable first book, Violent Criminals: Modernism and the Criminal, is sure to appeal to students of the novel, modernism, and popular fiction alike.' Nic Panagopoulos, Joseph Conrad Today
