Recenzii

"[Hall demonstrates] how many well-worn topics stand to be transformed when literature is imagined as a series of practices and books are engaged as material objects... For students of book history and of early New England, Ways of Writing ... can and should have profound effects on scholarly ways of thinking."-Church History "Hall's work ... complicates and refines our notions of the significance of the individual author and his/her originality in making texts during this period as well as the significance we assign the practices of anonymity... [A] richly detailed and engagingly written study."-American Historical Review "Hall's historical research changes our understanding of what a text is as well as the historical reality we can infer from any example of colonial writing... [He] has given scholars of early American literature a great deal of new work to do."-American Literature
