Professor Shelley Fisher Fishkin's New Book: Feminist Engagements
Professor Shelley Fisher Fishkin has published a new book entitled Feminist Engagements: Forays into American Literature and Culture.
"Feminist Engagements is enormously valuable and great fun to read."
-Erica Jong, poet and novelist
"Feminist Engagements employs a feminist lens to re-view American writers and American culture from the nineteenth century through the beginning of our twenty-first century. This book is excitingly, intellectually engaged and, at the same time, movingly self-revelatory. Every page is to be savored."
-Annette Kolodny, Professor Emerita of American Literature and Culture, University of Arizona
Professor Denise Gigante's New Book: Life
Professor Denise Gigante has published a new book entitled Life: Organic Form and Romanticism.
"The idea of the organic has troubled critics from Coleridge through Walter Pater on to their modern scholars. Denise Gigante's Life brings extraordinary clarity and renewed force to this traditional perplexity."
-Harold Bloom
"Life develops an important subject with much persuasive force, making use of extensive and careful research. It demonstrates that concepts of eighteenth-century vitalistic biology are essential to understanding the forms of major Romantic poems."
-Karl Kroeber, Columbia University
