Reviews

The reading Salzman has undertaken for this project is very comprehensive: he helpfully corrects the mistakes in the literature, a process that happens rather too rarely in critical works. Elizabeth Clarke, The Review of English Studies Salzman focuses most rewardingly... on how early modern women writers were perceived in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries... Salzman's account leaves much for scholars to question, including whether the Victorians favoured the same early modern women as the Romantics, and why Elizabeth I was treated so badly by anthologists Elizabeth Scott-Baumnann, Times Literary Supplement Salzman['s]...engaging new monograph...is invaluable...a capable conspectus of and a significant contribution to its subject. Students and researchers alike will be grateful for what Salzman has achieved in this book. The Cambridge Quarterly, Volume 36, Number 4 Crammed with judicious summaries of the current state of knowledge... it is destined to be poured over by specialists as well as by those seeking a reliable and readable introduction to an extremely complex field Kate Lilley, Australian Book Review
