Reviews

"'What is an author?' is a question that has been central to cultural and literary studies for almost thirty years. This collection of essays open up genuinely new perspectives on this question and shows us how much science studies has to contribute to fundamental issues in the humanities." -- Arnold I. Davidson, University of Chicago
