| "Frankenstein : Quick Text" |
| "This is the full story in quick modern English for a fast-paced read! True to the original novel (rather than the square-headed Boris Karloff image from the films!) Declan's naturally gothic artistic style is a perfect match for this epic tale Frankenstein is such a well known title yet the films strayed so far beyond the original novel that many people today don't realise how this classic horror tale deals with such timeless subjects as alienation empathy and understanding beyond appearance This is another great story beautifully crafted into a superb graphic novel"

| "The Limits of Critique" |
| "Why must critics unmask and demystify literary works? Why do they believe that language is always withholding some truth that the critic's task is to reveal the unsaid or repressed? In this book Rita Felski examines critique the dominant form of interpretation in literary studies and situates it as but one method among many a method with strong allure-but also definite limits Felski argues that critique is a sensibility best captured by Paul Ricoeur's phrase the hermeneutics of suspicion She shows how this suspicion toward texts forecloses many potential readings while providing no guarantee of rigorous or radical thought Instead she suggests literary scholars should try what she calls postcritical reading rather than looking behind a text for hidden causes and motives literary scholars should place themselves in front of it and reflect on what it suggests and makes possible By bringing critique down to earth and exploring new modes of interpretation The Limits of Critique offers a fresh approach to the relationship between artistic works and the social world"
