Recenzje

One of the many strengths of Modernism and Close Reading is how it stages and instrumentalizes this challenge—how it organizes all those moving parts but without comprising complexity or specificity. This volume does not shy away from conceptual or disciplinary messiness... For those interested in modernism, close reading, or the history of criticism—for those willing to immerse themselves in the innumerable, still expanding relations entailed therein—this collection is absolutely worth reading.
