Review Quotes:

"Investigations into the Literary Use of Language is a work of crucial importance for English scholarship on Merleau-Ponty, offering key insights into his thought in the making. The translation is first-rate as is the introduction and scholarly apparatus, which in some ways provides better support for the reader than the original French edition." --David Morris, Concordia University

"In these extraordinary lecture notes, Merleau-Ponty deepens our understanding of the relationship between self and world, extending his previous discussions of art to literature. This text will reposition the way we understand Merleau-Ponty's thinking." --Helen Fielding, Western University
