Industry Reviews "[This] is the most engagingly boffiny book imaginable." Hensher
"It is true, as Blake so cantankerously objected to Reynolds, that 'All Sublimity is founded on Minute Discriminations', and it is one of the services of this book that it so forcibly reminds the readers of that truth; which must include the difficult--and here, for the most part, impressively negotiated--discrimination between persons and fictions." Jarvis
"A learned, indeed an erudite little book; but also one that is so absorbing, so readable, so quietly and deftly humorous, that it shows up all the dull pretentiousness of nine-tenths of the stuff that gets written nowadays about Eng. Lit." Bayley
"This may not be the sort of criticism that reveals new depths to genius, but it is a
stimulating discussion that risks giving pedantry a good name." Economist (10/19/1996)
