Recensione:

Sure-handed and generously conceived to address a contemporary student's difficulties with In Memoriam and turn them into opportunities. Users of this guide will especially thank Barton for the model essays she has crafted on four strikingly different threads that traverse the poem: language, touch, economics, and ritual cycle. --Professor Herbert Tucker, University of Virginia
