"It’s a rare literary critic who attracts so much public attention, and there’s a good reason: few are as hell-bent on rethinking the way we talk about literature.” (Times Literary Supplement, on Moretti)

"Moretti makes his most forceful case yet for his approach, a heretical blend of quantitative history, geography and evolutionary theory” (New York Times, on Graphs, Maps, and Trees)

Want to know more? IDAH's first Franco Moretti reading group session is Friday, September 16 from 2:30-4:00PM in Global & International Studies GA4067. Pre-circulated readings for this session are available here: http://tinyurl.com/hno9hgy
