...astute and judicious unfolding of the problem of value in cultural studies. * Times Literary Studies *
lively and engrossing book ... Frow deftly exposes the weaknesses of relativism showing that it does not so much resolve as side-step the problem of value. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
Frow's argument, though conducted in rather forbidding prose, is frequently brilliant * Peter Schwendener, The American Scholar, Volume 65, No. 3, Summer 1996 *
