Product Description
The Independent, 23 September 2005
Her survey has all the stylistic snappiness and relish for mischief that marks the funniest books she cites.
Review
a welcome addition to the literature on academia and academics. (John Dreijmanis, Higher Education Review )
This study is enjoyable... and always stimulating. (Caroline Moore, The Spectator )
Clarity and style... Overall, this book is to be welcomed as a valuable addition to the critical commentaries on developing genres in the novel. As we have come to expect from Elaine Showalter, the insights are amny and incisive, and the style is always rich and entertaining, with a workable balance of scholarship and subjective reflection. It will surely be auseful book for students of the modern novel, and also something that will be complementary to maintain genre studies in literature.
