Know about the book -

Writers Reading Writers is written by Robert Hollander and published by University of Delaware Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0874139767 (ISBN 10) and 9780874139761 (ISBN 13).

This volume is a collection of intertextual studies on medieval and early modern literature in honor of Robert Hollander by some of his former students. Writers are always also readers, responding to texts that have provoked their thought. The contributors to this volume all participate in its overarching theme: writers reading and responding to the work of other writers. As Hollander's work has focused especially on Dante and Boccaccio, many of the essays treat one of these writers, either as reading or as read by others. Other essays trace intertextual influences in Langland, Shakespeare, or post-Enlightenment writers faced with the loss of Dante's meaningful cosmos.
