Reading Between the Lines

Annabel Patterson is professor of English and literature at Duke University.  Her other books include Censorship and Interpretation, also published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

“This brilliant, passionately written book is an important and timely work of scholarship.  Even those who disagree with Patterson’s arguments will respect the extraordinary ease with which she crosses the boundaries between the disciplines of history and literary studies.  This book will be widely read, and its readers will benefit from its erudition and candor.”––Jean R. Brink,  Arizona State University
