Editorial Reviews

"The most intellectually incisive, coherent and comprehensive meditation upon the history and significance of postmodernism that I have yet encountered."—Patricia Waugh, University of Durham

"Easily the best introduction to postmodernism currently available."—Hans Bertens, Utrecht University
