Reviews

'This is a book that dazzles by its commitment as well as by its range, and that puts the blinkered and finicky projects of most university criticism in the shade. It calls to mind the historical reach of Kermode's Genesis of Secrecy, and before that Praz's The Romantic Agony and Auberbach's Mimesis while being, in itself, contemporary, and bravely so'. - Professor Geoff Ward, University of Dundee
