Jenny Turner's essay on Gillian Rose is excellent. In 1995 I had the somewhat awkward task of 'reviewing' Love's Work for The New Statesman. I still don't quite follow the thinking about the sources of 'power' in her work, esp. late on; glad the early lectures are now published.

I think it’s what p/s does outside of p/s that matters. There’s a wholesomeness to being unaware in wider culture. That’s the scale of the challenge. (I think)

Once, during an in-class “peer review” when suggestions and such like are shared, a PoliSci comparativist advised against speaking too slowly as “they might understand you”. Sad and true.
