from Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
Customer Review:
This is not just an essay on feminism, this is a window to Virginia Woolf's thought pattern and logic. A Room of One's Own is beautifully written, it almost reads like a novel yet is packed with insightful thoughts on the idea of being an independent woman. The roles of women have changed since... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from DoubleDay
Customer Review:
Although Auerbach wrote Mimesis 50 years ago, and a great deal of research has been produced since then, his book is still a masterwork, and provides many valuable insights for a range of texts. I highly recommend this book. | 4.5 / 5.0

from faber and faber
Customer Review:
This book should not be approached as a guide on how to read, but as an example of Pound's brilliance. The essence of the book is that the more one reads, the better one becomes at it.

Customer Review:
This is another of my text books, and one I found almost impossible to finish. Don't get me wrong, the tale itself is exceedingly compelling. I guess I should try to explain my feelings about this book, which were powerful. Maybe it comes from being an American, and a liberal one at that, or maybe... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Feminism AND veganism? This would seem like the book of my dreams. But it wasn't.
I was looking for some really strong arguments backed with opinions and modern issues, but there wasn't anything like that in this book. In fact I'm sure that I could come up with better points in comparing animal... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
