Reviews

Worth offers a splendid defense not just of reading, but of reading for pleasure. She does this with an eye to challenging the recent obsession with concrete demonstrations of usefulness in academic curricula, something that has cast doubt on the significance of literature inside and outside the academy. The book offers a cogent criticism of such attitudes. -- Eva Dadlez, Professor, Department of Humanities and Philosophy, University of Central Oklahoma
