Reviews

"This is a smart and ambitious book. Jackson exhibits a refreshing mixture of punchy prose, playful allusiveness, lucid explanation, and careful use of sources. By reconnecting realist narrative to its religious roots, his book is destined to leave its mark on critical narratives about American readers and texts." - Russ Castronovo, University of Wisconsin - Madison"
