The Story of A will make Patricia Crain's name in literary studies and American studies."--Robert Gross, College of William and Mary "The alphabet is so foundational to the act of reading that scholars have tended to take it for granted. Crain's book is one of those rare and spectacular scholarly works that actually creates an object of inquiry and a new way of reading where previous scholarship has presumed there was nothing to see."--Karen Sanchez-Eppler, Amherst College
