Zusatztext Bevis's editorial work combines rigour with play ... [he] gives us a book which is united by its refusal to conform to any one pattern or mould ... The essays [on form] ... are full of flair and reflexive comedy ... The section on 'Literary Landscapes' impresses with its originality and strength ... Bevis's volume is particularly strong for the way in which it unsettles chronological and generic boundaries ... The final section on 'The Place of Poetry' offers intriguing collisions ... Perhaps the greatest pleasure of this book is the editor's resistance to simplification ... The Handbook can act as a useful scholarly touchstone, but it is much more than this.
