Lynch, a professor of English at Harvard, explores the historical complexity of loving books, loving literature in the modern sense, a passion that emerged in the Romantic period. The private intimacy we experience when reading is transformative. Can literary critics study books from a distance, and also love them personally, and also inspire students to fall in love? This is very fun, funny, and scholarly, and provides a new window into the past 200 years of book-love. List price $99.00. One time special price. The University of Chicago Press. 2015. Hb, Dj.
