1st Edition
Inventing the Popular Printing, Politics, and Poetics
Biography
Bettina R. Lerner is Assistant Professor of French in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at The City College, CUNY, USA
"Lerner showcases the writings of a politically and socially active group of working-class writers whose concept of popular culture represented a departure from traditional forms of popular expression [...] Carefully written and meticu-lously documented."
- Hope Christiansen, University of Arkansas, French Review
"This book, meticulously researched and with an extensive bibliography and thorough index, is a valuable resource for both historians and literary scholars [...] This work is suitable for a broad audience because Lerner is extremely transparent about her methodology. No term is taken for granted, no theory is used uncritically, and, as a result, this monograph contains useful tools for anyone interested in analyzing popular literature."
- Rebecca Powers, University of California Santa Barbara, H-France Review
