Testo aggiuntivo
The anthology is written in an approachable, mostly jargonfree style. It is accessible for students and a wide readership, especially as each excerpt is accompanied by an opening introduction to the author and the text. I look forward to using this second edition of the anthology for teaching and other purposes in the future.
