Reviews

"Farrell, a political liberal, believes that literature has been devalued and sets out to show why it still matters. According to Farrell, the reasons are numerous, elusive, and various (economic, technological, and political, not merely a result of changes in literary-critical practice), but he addresses only those that emanate from literary study... Farrell has a gift for citing interesting ideas from many sources."-K. Tololyan, Choice, September 2005 "Why Does Literature Matter? is a very intelligent, accessible, attractive, and illuminating book with wide-ranging, well-chosen literary examples and insightful analyses. Frank B. Farrell's defense of a moderate linguistic turn and exposition of a psychological-metaphysical model for understanding literature's significance are clear and convincing."-Donald Marshall, Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books, Pepperdine University
