Reading Relationally: Postmodern Perspectives on Literature and Art (review)

As Desormeaux signals in his conclusion, his study might have been further enriched by a more developed consideration of the influence of esthetic, ideological and institutional contexts on the appropriation of bibliomania particular to each author.

In this way, an essentially conservative movement in fact proved vital in the elaboration of a new poetics of the book.
