Overview
"Alexander Welsh has a personal voice, amused, witty, ironic, and proselytizing. He wears learning lightly and ranged widely over genres and disciplines, pleasing the cultural generalist as well as the nostalgic individualist."--Times Literary Supplement.
"[Welsh's] work on narrative is consistently... among the most theoretically original, daringly interdisciplinary, and substantively important that we have."--Modern Philology.
"A book this intelligent with this large a thesis and range of interests... naturally leaves one wishing for more."--Nineteenth-Century Literature
