Reviews

Reviews 'Interesting, original, well-researched, and important ... a natural companion to The Letters of John Murray to Lord Byron.' Bernard Beatty, University of Liverpool 'A substantial and enduring contribution to Byron studies and, more broadly, to literary history and publishing history.' Peter Graham, Virginia Tech 'O'Connell neatly explores the demands that the publishing market placed on both Murray and Byron....Byron and John Murray is as much a contribution to studies of sociability, the nineteenth-century publishing world, and the bookselling market place, as it is to accounts of Byron and Byronism. By bringing together reception history, private letters that were exposed to a public world, and Byron's literary works themselves, this book enhances our understanding of the changing literary landscapes of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.' Charlotte May, The BARS Review, No. 48
