Recenzii

Here is a Reader that culls the most important, brilliant and groundbreaking pieces of literary criticism on a comparatist approach to American Studies and offers them to readers in one binding. It is a significant, timely critical achievement, and is certain to be praised by students and scholars alike. -- Joel Pace, University of Wisconsin Recent events in the global political arena have led to a revaluation in the study of the Atlantic literatures and cultures. Manning and Taylor's Reader brings together a wide range of criticism, from Rene Wellek to Wai Chee Dimock, to show that our understanding of those literatures and cultures is freshly derived yet firmly rooted. The book has a substantial introductory chapter, and is shrewdly organised into six theoretical and thematic groups, each given a perceptive prologue. It will be required reading for years to come. -- Robert Lawson-Peebles, University of Exeter ...a timely and invaluable resource for students and scholars researching in the broad field of Transatlantic Studies...this is far more than a simple compendium: it is a book which aims actively to participate in contemporary debates. -- James Peacock, Keele University American Studies Today The book should certainly be used as a core text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on transatlantic studies and American studies. It is also highly relevant to Canadian studies. -- Faye Hammill, University of Strathclyde British Journal of Canadian Studies Here is a Reader that culls the most important, brilliant and groundbreaking pieces of literary criticism on a comparatist approach to American Studies and offers them to readers in one binding.
