Reviews

"The range of topics represented in the book suggests both the power and problems of Bercovitch's formulation. The final section in particular presents the possibilities offered by Bercovitch's idea of consensus and dissent in understanding the current debate over canon issues. Bercovitch's essay itself is a fine and honest accounting of his ideas that opens room for critique." - Daniel Reagan, St. Anselm College
