Reviews

'Challenging entrenched assumptions about literary history, the essays gathered here make vividly clear why eighteenth-centuryists and Romanticists need one another's expertise to do justice to the vibrant period we share. Most dramatically, this volume invites us to participate in a revolutionary reconsideration of the place of the novel in a Revolutionary and Romantic age.' Susan S. Lanser, Brandeis University, USA 'Miriam L. Wallace does an excellent job of describing and interpreting the varying, sometimes conflicting premises that drive the specialties of Romanticism and eighteenth-century studies.' European Legacy
