Reviews

Hall's book is well-documented and deserves consideration proportionate to its theoretical undertaking. It also provides compelling socio-historical evidence of the relation between prosodic education and mechanized serial production in the nineteenth century. (John C. Murray, The British Society for Literature and Science, bsls.ac.uk, May, 2018)
