Signs and Wonders offers an account of some of the most original and powerful writers of our age and of earlier times. The book is intended for the general reader, a class to which the author is happy to belong. D.J. Enright is alert to the comic or otherwise entertaining side of writers often considered intimidatingly earnest or metaphysically remote. The author seeks throughout to pass on something of the enjoyment, alarm, discoveries and reminders which these writers impart. This book serves to affirm literature's status as a natural and enriching accompaniment to living.
