Omschrijving
"This is an impressive book. It is full of sensitive readings, rigorously argued and the product of great erudition, effortlessly ranging over a wide variety of subject areas. Quite apart from her detailed knowledge of her selected writers’ oeuvres and associated secondary literature, Holter extends her scope to disciplines such as Fine Art (the centrality of chiaroscuro oblige), literary theory, sociology, etymology, philosophy and psychoanalysis, travelling backwards and forwards with ease between l’extrême contemporain and Antiquity. [...] its academic impact may [...] be considerable, since the very nature of Holter’s innovative, self-created concept means that it will have a broader, more universal application to the French literature of today." - Alan Morris, Irish Journal of French Studies, 2017.
