Review:
Mention —Book News, February 2009
"The Essential Guide to English Studies has an ambitious and challenging target — to introduce concisely what it is really like to study contemporary University English. I think it hits that target in ways which will be really helpful for any student thinking about doing an English degree. If you want to get a good grasp of the practical, material and intellectual conditions of reading degree-level English, I recommend reading it before going to University and then returning to it while there." - Chris Hopkins, Professor Of English Studies, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
