Well-written and wide-ranging, his book shows that confronting poverty alters literary discourse, just as it fractures assumptions based on cultural identity and political sensibility.--Gavin Jones "Stanford University"<br><br>The works analyzed here--many of which I have taught often and know well--come alive in new ways as Stephen Schryer puts them in conversation with each other and with their historical era. Here's one reliable sign of success: I am sure that I will read these texts differently from now on.--Carlo Rotella "Boston College"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephen Schryer</b> is Associate Professor of English at the University of New Brunswick.
