Reviews

College-level students of English and literary theory will find this important to understanding the course of modern American literary criticism.-- "Bookwatch"

This book fills the gap between a dictionary of theoretical terms and an introductory monograph on a particular theorist To be clear and concise about a subject that is murky and disparate is difficult, but Spikes succeeds. Moreover, he contributes new ways of looking at central concepts.-- "Review of Contemporary Fiction"
