Mark Axelrod, Ph.D
., professor of
English and creative writing
, has published his latest book, “
No Symbols Where None Intended: Literary Essays from Laclos to Beckett
” (Palgrave Pivot/MacMillan, August 2014).

The essays use Nabokov’s stylistic approach to well-known texts (fiction, drama and criticism) as a point of departure. Notions of style and structure link the three prose pieces discussed in the text, (Beckett, Smart, and Turgenev) to the fiction and drama of Ibsen and Strindberg.

The publication is now available through booksellers and in e-book format.
