Description
These new essays by leading scholars examine some famous and less well-known instances of polemical encounters. The essays are enhanced by an interview with Gayatri Spivak, specially conducted by Jane Gallop for this volume
Historically rigorous, theoretically astute, and sometimes wickedly funny, Polemic makes criticism a critical issue.
