Reviews for Sanctuaries in Washington Irving's «The Sketch Book»: The Sketch Book

This book by Hugo Walter is a thoughtful, insightful, and most comprehensive treatment of the concept of sanctuary in literature and a delight to read. It will make a perfect addition to any library of great literature. (Mary Jane Clerkin, Berkeley College Online) This book is a profound examination of spaces of renewal and vitality found in literature and art. While the focus is on Irving, Professor Walter incorporates his expansive knowledge of nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature to create a compelling argument that these sanctuaries are powerful constants in all of world literature. (Richard Schultz, Berkeley College)
