Summary: An excellent anthology for the especialized.
Comment: If one disregards the fact that this book requires an expert reader, Perkins made one of the most complete compilations in the topic of literary history. There are no introductory essays, so it requires some previous knowledge on the discussions present in the book. Behler's article is a very insightful approach to the issue of modernity, Valdez Moses offers one of the most aticulate critics to the Third World-Poscolonial paradigm, while Klancher exposes one of the most interesting theories of transmission I have read. Any researcher in the topic will find useful references. My only objection is that some topics, such as the Lovejoy-Wellek debate, are not very pertinent today, but they are still brilliant essays.
