Recenzii
"There is a useful and interesting section on the philosophical and religious background to the rise of modernism...an excellent section entitled 'Modernist Literature'...Wilson concludes that there is to be found a certain coherence in the ideas and kinds of writing that the tem 'modernism' has come to describe. I think this has been amply and well documented in her book... This really is an excellent discussion." - The Use of English
'Concept looks good ... I like the idea... they should do very well'
'This looks excellent; I shall look forward to seeing the first texts.' - Jennifer Nicholson, University of Newcastle
'your new series looks interesting and timely' - Professor Elaine Treharne, University of Leicester (Chair of the English Association)
'this is a book which we would like our first years to have read - a guide which gives the information without which a student would be entirely at sea.' - Professor Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University (from proposal)
'[this] series offers both the student reader and teacher exciting and invaluable interventions in and reorientations around questions of history, culture, and period ... With brio, verve, and an admirable brevity, the series grounds our understanding of literature and culture in thought-provoking and highly original ways. ... an indispensable series that will set the benchmark for all such surveys and overviews.' - Julian Wolfreys, Professor of Victorian Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Florida.
'[these guides will] provide what students really want/need to know when they begin a module, in a way that makes sense before they've done the module itselfàthe lack of this has really been my problem with survey books for students already on the market' - Leigh Wilson, University of Westminster (from proposal)
