The Selected Works of Edward Said, 1966 - 2006

"This volume reveals the dazzling range of Said‘s oeuvre, spanning explorations of political, historical, and literary matters to the studies of humanism, secularism, and theories of intellectualism. . . . An indispensable resource for scholars of cultural studies, history and politics, literature, sociology, anthropology, Western classical music and the arts." -- Library Journal "What becomes most evident rereading Said‘s work—besides the startlingly clear prose and impeccable scholarship—is how his contrary, original thought has affected other intellectual disciplines." -- Kirkus Reviews "One of the leading thinkers of the age."-- The New York Observer "Edward Said is the most distingished and cultural critic now writing in America." --Cornel West "Said is a brilliant and unique amalgam of scholar, aesthete, and political activist...[He] challenges and stimulates our thinking in every area." -- Washington Post Book World "No one studying the relations between the metropolitan West and the decolonizing world can ignore Mr. Said‘s work." -- The New York Times Book Review
