Reviews

This is not only an invaluable source of information on a dazzling range of topics, but also a volume bristling with ideas - and ideals. There is an explicitly radical, polemical edge to many of the contributions, and if these essays and entries provoke the active engagement of the reader rather than merely delivering knowledge with an air of unchallengeable authority, they are more than upholding the spirit of the age that is under debate. Fiona Stafford, Review of English Studies
