Rezensionen

"This book has no shortage of spark. Grant combines his (exceptionally good) historical overview with cross-cultural comparisons." -- Noreen Masud, The Cambridge Quartley

"Deft, short, sharp, concise, often witty, crammed with scholarship, and instict with wisdom, The Aphorism and Other Short Forms certainly shares many of the qualities of the object(s) of its attention." -- Clare Connors, Oxford Literary Review

"It is worth emphasizing the high quality and wide range of this research: Chapter 7, for example, offers an in-depth discussion of Blanchot, Baudrillard, and Jacques Derrida's views of the fragment and its relation to the aphorism." -- Alexandra Sattler, Modern Language Review
