"Formidably intelligent, eloquent, and knowledgeable."
—City Limits

"Jacqueline Rose has no peer among critics of her generation. The brilliance of her literary insight, the lucidity of her prose, and the subtlety of her analyses are simply breathtaking."
—Edward Said


Praise for Mothers by Jacqueline Rose:

"A sort of Rosetta Stone for the moment that examines the particular mix of fascination and dread that mothers engender . . . Rose is a calm and stylish writer whose rangy essays . . . have become indispensable reading during the current reckoning around power and sexuality."
―Parul Sehgal, The New York Times

"Rose is, as ever, devastating in her elegance and striking in her ingenuity.”
― Bookforum

"As a literary scholar and psychoanalytic thinker, Rose has long insisted that we pay close attention to the subterranean fears, fantasies, and narratives that structure our most pressing sociopolitical problems."
―Merve Emre, The Nation
