Reviews

Refiguring Speech is a daring and deft new work within Victorian studies as well as colonial and postcolonial theory. Its brilliant, timely argument for retheorizing 'talk' as racially embodied linguistic production represents the next generation of research. -Susan Zieger, University of California, Riverside This book makes a sophisticated argument about the distinction between speech and talk in the late-Victorian novel and how, when the propriety of speech gives way to talk, glimpses of an anticolonial aesthetic come into view. Illuminating and eloquent. -Tanya Agathocleous, Hunter College
