 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe European Metropolis<\/em> makes an original and thought-provoking claim for the importance of Irish women\u2019s writing in the literary imagination of Paris. . . . [T]he book offers a detailed, careful, and surprising counter-history of both the Bildungsroman<\/em> and Paris as told by authors and protagonists whose outsiderness is their principal virtue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014C\u00f3il\u00edn Parsons<\/em>, Nineteenth-Century French Studies<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cReznicek\u2019s [The European Metropolis]<\/em> offers a highly relevant methodological approach, which could be replicated on the example of many other European traditions\u2014with a view to detecting common literary bonds, those previously obscured by the insistence on a purely national framework.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>T. S. Eliot and Organicism
\n<\/strong><\/em>by Jeremy Diaper

\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most valuable part of T. S. Eliot and Organicism <\/em>is its thorough trawling through the files of the New English Weekly<\/em> and the Christian News-Letter<\/em>, two publications which Eliot supported and contributed to, especially once the Criterion<\/em> had closed. This yields ample evidence of parallels between Eliot\u2019s work and that of a number of prominent writers on agriculture and its place in a good society.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Stefan Collini, Times Literary Supplement<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cJeremy Diaper\u2019s argument in\u00a0T. S. Eliot and Organicism<\/em>\u00a0[presents] a wealth of evidence to show that Eliot attached great importance to farming and to a thriving rural culture and economy. . . . Diaper\u2019s monograph offers a convincing case for T. S. Eliot\u2019s major role in propagating the organicist philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Philip Conford,\u00a0Agricultural History Review<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cT. S. Eliot and Organicism<\/em>\u2019s profound reconsideration of Eliot\u2019s organic thinking will undoubtedly inspire future approaches to ecocriticism and Eliot Studies.\u201d<\/p>\n
