Reviews

Lively, learned, and subtle, Utopia, Limited may well help initiate a resurgence in the teaching and study of Romanticism.--Mark Edmundson, University Professor, University of Virginia


Nersessian s project, to counter the consumerist fantasy of limitless consumption with the Utopia of a sustainable ecology, is skillfully executed. Her argument s backbone is in her virtuoso analyses of form. Unraveling the rhetorical strategies at work in a range of Romantic texts, she is both original and genuinely insightful This is a book that manages to be moral, informative and entertaining all at once Against an enduring ideological critique, of which Romanticism has been the particular target, Nersessian s view of a humane and socially engaged body of literature works as a powerful corrective.--Uttara Natarajan Times Higher Education (06/11/2015)
