Reviews

“Bridget Chalk’s Modernism and Mobility: The Passport and Cosmopolitan Experience (2014) is the first book-length study taking up this recognition of the modern passport’s impact on modern literature, and it arrives none too soon in the burgeoning field of literary passport studies. … Chalk’s book is a welcome and necessary contribution to modernist studies, and the incipient area of literary passport studies.” (Nissa Ren Cannon, Journal of Modern Literature, Vol. 41 (1), 2017)
