Dennis Quinn is Professor of English at the University of Kansas, Lawrence.
For readers interested in what a widely read and intelligent
intellectual reactionary, not a pundit or a 'culture warrior,'
thinks of the history of Western culture and how it relates to our
current predicaments, 'Iris Exiled' is a good way to find out.
*Sixteenth Century Journal*
Quinn nimbly traverses the historical developments about wonder,
persuasively argues his philosophical position, and trenchantly
analyzes and interprets as a literary critic. In the end, he has
written a fascinating study. I encourage one to read his book: It
is the next best thing to matriculating at Kansas University and
learning from the master teacher directly.
*Review of Metaphysics*
