Abstract
Existing models in writing reviews underscore the form and content of works of
art with scarce attention to the philosophical maxims upon which the works are
based. Most adopt journalistic models that are more or less book reports to
advertise works of art for commercial purposes. New voices such as Allyson
Skene (2015) underscore theoretical frameworks in laying down major arguments
of the work to give book reviews a scholarly trajectory. This review extends
Skene’s argument by taking literary book reviews away from journalistic models.
