Recenzje

Stefan Collini's The Nostalgic Imagination... is the most dazzling piece of literary criticism I have read in ages an attempt to decode some of the historical assumptions that underlie the way in which early-twentieth-century critics such as Eliot, Leavis and Empson approached their subject, and written with a wit and intelligence that puts most current academic criticism to shame.
