"For decades J Hillis Miller has been one of the best, most influential, and most prolific literary critics writing in English. Always on the cutting edge of his discipline, Miller has in many of his published works defined the location of that edge for his fellow scholars. In his new book The Medium is the Maker
Browning, Freud, and ... Read morethe New Telepathic Ecotechnologies, Miller once again takes literary criticism in a fresh and unexpected direction, thinking about the way the most recent communication technologies alter notions of the self, of public and private space, of communication as thought transference, to name only a few of the many issues Miller touches on in this penetrating study. Reading Miller's criticism is always an intellectually rewarding and exhilarating experience, as any reader of The Medium is the Maker will attest."
