Reviews

A book that has an entire chapter on Lord Byron and 'branding'-who would not be intrigued?... Highly Recommended. Choice This book substantially enriches our understanding not just of British Romanticism but also of the history of advertising... The book's thoroughly historical argument works within the sub-fields of print culture and material culture to reveal the intimate connections between consumer culture and literary writing... Mason's work performs a number of valuable services for the study of Romanticism... This book deserves attention. -- Robert Anderson Review 19 Mason's Literary Advertising provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of how the Romantic literary system actually worked... Mason persuasivley shows how thoroughly connected art and commerce became in the period despite Romantic posturing about artistic independence. -- Daniela Garofalo SHARP News Literary Advertising and the Shaping of British Romanticism helpfully chronicles the rise of advertising in periodicals, highlighting its methods and subjects... A valuable book. -- Mischa Willett Victorian Periodicals Review Mason's book is a timely corrective to the outdated idea that Romantic reviewing was a practice of nonstop aggression. -- Adela Pinch Studies in English Literature
