Love and Reading discusses 18th and 19th Century English fiction, the aesthetics of Burke and Kant, and contemporary literary theory. It stresses that language should be referential and argues for a way of reading that would not provide narcissistic a way of reading that would enable us instead to see through «the huge and terrible deception,» as Tolstoy put it, that hides «both life and death.»
