Literary / Liberal Entanglements

In Literary/Liberal Entanglements, Corinne Harol and Mark Simpson bring together ten essays by scholars from a wide range of fields in English studies in order to interrogate the complex, entangled relationship between the history of literature and the history of liberalism.

"Literary/Liberal Entanglements is a solid and at times brilliant contribution to contemporary debates on its titular themes in the humanities."

Joel Faflak, Department of English, Western University:

"Literary/Liberal Entanglements is timely, lively, provocative, and at once disturbing and fascinating in its implications for the future of what we still very broadly call ‘literary studies.’. The essays in the volume, both individually and collectively, demonstrate with rigour, accessibility, clarity of purpose, and respect for the historio-‐cultural context, nuance, and habitus of each object of study why the work of the literary and of literary analysis not just matters or is relevant but demands our attention."
