Product Description

Review

"A refreshing departure from the nasty academic jousting that often passes for a debate about the canon.... [Kermode's] reasoned advocacy is a reminder why literature and criticism are equipment for living."--Bookforum
"Most impressive and satisfying.... It addresses the heritage and the literary culture of our time with greater subtlety than any other writing I know."--Charles Rosen, Times Literary Supplement (International Books of the Year 2004)
"Kermode's wit and impressive breadth of reference make Pleasure and Change a compelling contribution to a debate that shows no sign of approaching a resolution."--Adam Smyth, Times Literary Supplement

Charles Rosen, Times Literary Supplement

"I found this slight book most impressive and satisfying" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Good Stuff. Kermode unpacks and reveals the ingredients of thought and synthesises with his own and others' ideas to make a fascinating and enthralling read. Full of good quotes too!
