Description

Human Readings provides a useful introduction to Roger D. Sell’s oeuvre, with both critical and laudatory responses to his work. The volume is particularly to be praised for the tightness of its conception. Rather than attempting to offer an overview of all varieties of literary pragmatics and linguistic approaches to literature, in the form of its ten essays and an introduction, it proffers a considered and appreciative response to the work of the scholar it honours.
