Annabel Patterson tackles the hottest topic in literary studies today - `the Great Books debate - providing a superbly formulated moderate stance between the Western canon's radical oppponents and its zealous protectors.

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.
In this superbly written contribution to cultural studies, noted critic Patterson (English, Duke Univ.) challenges the implicit censorial tendencies of current ideological readings of the Western canon by proposing a theory of reading that reveals how, in censoring societies, writers have written themselves and their opinions "between the lines" of their texts. Using this strategy, Patterson recovers writers as diverse as Joseph Heller and Plato, Milton and Spenser, Nancy Price and Shakespeare, for cultural conversation. In particular, her readings of Donne's satires, Holinshed's Chronicles , and Milton's divorce pamphlets sparkle with insight into the politics and culture of early modern England. An extremely valuable contribution to the cultural history of early modern English literature. Highly recommended for academic libraries.
