Bibliography

Rezensionen

The 2018 winner of the Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly Book Prize.

The Committee describes the focus of the book on methodology and case studies as "fresh and original," and "useful for both experienced scholars and those new to the field."

"Overall. Case Studies suggests new ways of reading canonical authors, new unerstandings of the interprentation of the personal and the public, and an admirable energy in engaging with the structures of national and transnational periodical discourses that are clearly implicated in maintaining soft power within societies"

-- Brian Maidment, Liverpool John Moores University
