And she accomplishes this feat of strategic positioning without sacrificing her considerable tactical skills for local reading. Mediating between broad theoretical reflection and the closest kind of textual scrutiny, her readings are throughout inventive, adept, capable of surprise.”—Alan Liu, University of California, Santa Barbara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations; Introduction; 1.
