Reading Inside Out

Mehr zum Buch

This collection brings together eleven interviews with J Hillis Miller from 1987 to 2014 conducted by distinguished scholars and critics from China, England, Ireland, and the United States. The volume offers the readers a rich gallery of representations and interventions occasioned by a critic whose intellectual and moral presence has been instrumental in the dynamic (re)definitions of the discipline of literary studies for the past five decades. The interviews cover both his life and the development of his thought in poetics and pedagogics, in ethics and politics as well. Reading Inside Out is the perfect companion to Millers many books, a lucid introduction to his thought, and a comprehensive commentary on Millers critical themes.
