MAIRE JAANUS KliRRIK. "The heart of this book lies in its ... brilliant
revisionist interpretation of the novel from Jane Austen to Thomas Mann.... By
her insight into the logical and dialectical implications of her topic, Kurrik has
developed not merely a thematic survey but an original philosophic-historical
analysis."
