Reviews

This study is original while making an intelligent use of existing studies. Extremely well organized, this book moves gradually and rigorously from the general to the more specific and shows a remarkable ability to articulate plot summaries and textual analyzes, ongoing theoretical concerns, and personal statements thoroughly argued through to their conclusions.--Humphries, Reynold
