Editorial Reviews

Review

“Miller analyzes the decline of the humanities in American university education, drawing connections to economic downturns and the growing demand for more practical studies, such as government and economics.” Publishers Weekly, July 30th 2012 “Miller’s distinctions and evidence … provide an intriguing point of entry into current debates concerning the humanities… Miller’s suggestions for renewal in the humanities not only have the potential to re-energize the humanities, but also to offer a way out of the crisis in the humanities.” – symploke “Miller takes a lively, well-researched look at the dilemma facing the modern humanities… Summing Up: Recommended.”–Choice, February 2013
