"The Oxford Studies in Philosophy and Literature series, edited by Richard Eldridge, is producing some of the best work in contemporary literary aesthetics. As one would expect, the series raises the question of how literary works can function as sites of philosophical activity, but it does so in a unique manner [...] It is a great service to the profession to have a series that makes the challenge of stating the relationship between philosophy and literature itself a central theoretical and critical problem." --John Gibson, University of Louisville, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
