Trade Review
Original, intelligent, fluent readings... Highly recommended. Choice 2010 A wholly original approach to the relation between law and literature, and will change the way we think and teach some of these canonical works of fiction. Times Literary Supplement 2010 Macpherson bears down intensely on several hard-won and difficult abstractions, including cause, intention, and meaning. To the degree to which we are accustomed to thinking through our most important literary-theoretical categories via a history of the novel, Harm's Way is a must read. -- Jonathan Kramnick Studies in English Literature 2010
