Brief description:
Mark Hewson teaches literature and philosophy at the University
of Melbourne, Australia.
Review Quotes: "...offers erudite analyses of several texts in which Maurice Blanchot approaches works by 'modern' writers. [...] Hewson's studies are models of good scholarship and often bring great insight, albeit to quite familiar terrain. The individual studies of Blanchot's work on Hölderlin and Mallarmé are extremely welcome additions to the field and provide an excellent resource for scholars seeking to orient themselves in these complex areas." --Barnaby Norman, King's College London
