'Judie Newman's Fictions of America: Narratives of Global Empire is a timely, cogently argued and well-written explanation of the ways in which narrative has not only sustained its autonomous power in the era of globalisation, but has made a future for itself as a source of imaginative resistance and creative adaptation ... This book promises to become an important resource for Americanist scholars across the globe.' - Donald Pease, Dartmouth College, USA
'...Dazzling originality...Newman surveys the critical field, highlights the strengths and weaknesses of her predeccessors, and offers a confident and convincing analysis of texts that we thought we new well, alongside less familiar ones that clearly deserve our attention' - Aliki Varvogli, Symbiosis
