Rezensionen

"..... there is much of value here and students of literature, cultural studies, philosophy, and related studies will find this a useful resource." (Reference Reviews, 2012)

"There are some world-class scholars among the contributors here, and many of the longer entries are insightful as well as challenging (Simon Frith's and Christopher Norris's, among others, stand out, as do many by the editors themselves: Jessica Rae Barbera on Elaine Scarry, for example)." (Times Literary Supplement, 6 January 2012)

"Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students." (Choice, 1 May 2011)

Praise for the first edition:

"Thoughtfully structured and containing an impressive array of generally well-written entries, this book will be a welcome addition to the shelves of many reference collections." Reference Reviews
