“A lively and illuminating disquisition.... an impressively far-reaching critical work, an elegant study both edifying and entertaining. In a book full of keen observations and fascinating disputes... Ms. Prose looks in all directions to find noteworthy material... This is a Grade A example of what a smart, precise and impassioned teacher can do.”
— Janet Maslin, New York Times
