Beschreibung
"This is a fantastic book - important and ground-breaking in the way that it both examines and explains the most important practices and principles underlying the study of English Literature. Highly readable as well as hugely enjoyable, it is essential reading for those studying and teaching the subject at advanced level."
Barbara Bleiman, English & Media Centre

'Eaglestone argues fiercely and lucidly: literary studies can inspire an ongoing conversation, further each and every one of us, and test and shape values and beliefs. Nor does he lose sight of the key role that pleasure plays in the pursuit of understanding literature. This is an admirably judicious and persuasive manifesto.'
Marina Warner, Birkbeck College, London, and President of the Royal Society of Literature

'This lively book makes a persuasive, entirely un-preachy, case for caring about literature - the case that for so long we have not known how to make. Literature, for Eaglestone, is both intensely useful and happily useless. We can't get away from literature even if we try, and this book firmly shows us why we shouldn't be trying.'
Michael Wood, Princeton University
