Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-04 00:00:00 Meagan Parker some excellent points of discussion around negritude and the barriers facing black voices, but some of the analysis read as personal preference parading as "fact".

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-24 00:00:00 Darby Butler "Irony lies in the tensions of language" or so Claire Colebrook reminds us on p19 of this excellent critical introduction to and exploration of one of the most ill-used, misunderstood concepts in contemporary literary theory and philosophy. She effective grounds her case in ancient Greeks, shows how notions and understandings of irony changed with the Romantics, and explores contemporary and postmodern deployments of irony. In doing so she illustrates the broader theoretical and conceptual points by drawing on well known literary texts. It is a great example of an excellent series.
