Thresholds of Meaning

'Thresholds of Meaning' offers evidence not only of a reprise and reworking of certain 'traditional' themes (family, heritage and history; memory and commemoration; the relationships between the generations, between the individual and the community), but also of a reinstatement of meaning at the centre of literary enquiry.
