Book Synopsis
Explores the connection between writers' desire to prove that they 'work' and parallel histories of craft and artisanal revival

Trade Review
"The Work of Words is an excellent book, notable for its original argument, wealth of examples, depth of knowledge and elegant and quotable style. It is also admirable for the real depth of understanding it brings to the complex political affiliations of the period it describes." -Elizabeth Carolyn Miller, University of California, Davis
