"When I Was A Child I Read Books, is by far Robinson's most political work to date, and is a defense of what she considers the grand traditions of American democracy—generosity, hope, and radical openness to new experience—waged against a society that seems to believe itself in irreversible decline. Robinson's great virtue as an essayist is her ability to combine a deep knowledge of this country's literary, intellectual, and religious canon with a demotic, impassioned tone that is American in the highest sense" (Charles Petersen).
