Opis

The Open Book is a provocative study of literary influence at work in English writing from Hardy to Woolf. By doing so, The Open Book offers a fresh and pragmatic opening onto the relation between personal, cultural and institutional history on the one hand, and literary history on the other.

Recenzje

'The Open Book...would certainly make a valuable addition to any university library. The ideas evinced, though, are unusual and thought- provoking.' - Times Literary Supplement

'This is an academic book but, unlike many other academic books nowadays, it is a pleasure to read.' - John Mepham, Virginia Woolf Bulletin
