'A full-length study of this fascinating, if elusive, author is long overdue; but Ella Hepworth Dixon has been fortunate in attracting a meticulous, enthusiastic scholar to make a powerful case for the significance of her work for students of the period, and, in doing so, to tempt a new generation of readers to the delights of her writing.' Barbara Onslow, University of Reading, author of Women of the Press in Nineteenth-Century Britain 'Valerie Fehlbaum's Ella Hepworth Dixon is [...] welcome and necessary for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is its inclusion of photographs of Dixon's birth and death certificates, along with lists of the periodical issues in which her short stories and essays (most of them uncollected) were published... [Readers] should turn here first for information about Dixon's career, as well as for illuminating, perceptive explanations of why her work has enjoyed a mini-revival... As Fehlbaum shows quite brilliantly, Dixon was a gifted storyteller and essayist, whole writing strikes a happy balance between the socio-political and the literary and retains today much of its original force and charm.' Victorian Studies
