an important blueprint for future work Andrew Elfenbein, New Books Online

provides fruitful topics for sensitively historic ways into Dickens that seem to leave him intact and, at the same time, appreciably different Matthew Inglebym Times Literary Supplement an important blueprint for future work Andrew Elfenbein, New Books Online illuminatingly attentive to historical and literary subtleties. Furneaux's methodology is gentler with and more dependent on the texts she considers. Matthew Ingleby, Times Literary Supplement Queer theory as Furneaux develops it seems astonishingly versatile and promising... a major achievement in scholarly terms, and immensely enjoyable Nicola Bradbury, The Dickensian What is especially exciting about Furneaux's account is that it not only at long last brings the body of Dickens's writing within the compass of queer theory, but it suggests a new turn in queer theory itself. Richard A. Kaye, Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies
