"Congratulations to Bucknell University Press on reaching this significant milestone in its history! In this day and age when scholarly publishing is being buffetted by many winds of change, economically and technologically, it is encouraging to see a smaller publisher like Bucknell still managing to turn out books of consistently high quality to help keep the juices of academic research flowing."

Sanford G. Thatcher, Past Director of Penn State University Press

"Bucknell University Press readers are consistently and delightfully invited into world after world of novelty, intelligence, invention, and wonder. No other university press has so eagerly and energetically opened itself to the full range of inquiry; no other academic venue has so thoroughly or successfully implemented the freethinking, no-holds-barred research program of the enlightened 'virtuosi.' . . . If Parnassus has a telephone book, the Bucknell University Press publication roster would be on it."

Kevin L. Cope, Professor of English, Louisiana State University

"Bucknell University Pres has become a trusted friend, a source of cutting-edge theory, cultural studies, and exciting literary interpretation."

David T. Gies, Professor of Spanish, University of Virginia

"Bucknell University Press over the years has established itself as one of the leading smaller university presses, as it consistently publishes excellent monographs in English and American literature at a time when larger presses seem to be neglecting their responsibility to scholarship in those fields."

John Richetti, Professor of English (Emeritus), University of Pennsylvania
