"This book may be most valuable for its call to pedagogical reform. Sure-footed and light-handed, he emphasizes the 'formative' rather than the 'informative' function of literary fiction. Eloquent, erudite, witty, and just as passionate, Landy has given us a new way of looking at the importance of fiction for life--a new and marvelous 'defence of poesy.'".
