Reviews

All writers are, or should be, re-writers, Germano insists, and rewriting begins with rereading, with listening to what your text wants to say. The advice compiled in this revelatory, generous book--tips on discovering or rediscovering your argument, on organizing its archive, on helping your readers identify its takeaways--will be useful for everyone from seasoned authors to dissertating graduate students. Best of all, interspersed with the practical counsel, On Revision contains a moving vindication of the importance and the pleasure of scholarly writing and reading. --Deidre Lynch, author of Loving Literature: A Cultural History
