Review:
(Routledge, 2000) and co-author of Get Set For Politics (with Ken Phillips and Alex Thomson) (Edinburgh University Press, 2003).
"In recent years, many observers have noted the thinness and monotony of poststructuralist dogma. No one, however, has done a more assiduous job of pushing intellectual debris out of the way that Wendell Harris in Literary Meaning. This book is at once plain and sophisticated, hard-hitting and constructive. How different our field would be if Harris were required reading for graduate students!" -Frederick Crews, author of "Skeptical Engagements" "Literary Meaning is an erudite and well-written book. It clearly presents the arguments of an array of thinkers, whose work is seen in terms of the schools to which they appeal. Rather than dismiss current theory, Harris traces it to its crucial flaws."-Gary Saul Morson, Frances Hooper Professor of the Arts & Humanities, Northwestern University
