'Rumbold's book is an intricate, thoughtful contribution to Shakespeare studies and criticism of the novel. As an elegant fusion of literary analysis and cultural history, it will also appeal to scholars interested in reception theory and cultures of reading. Its interdisciplinary approach and subtler lines of argument might be better suited to advanced students or specialists, but its lucid, lively style and original insights must recommend it to everyone; it is as entertaining and thought-provoking as the novels it so vibrantly discusses.' Megan Taylor, Eighteenth-Century Fiction 'Rumbold's book is an intricate, thoughtful contribution to Shakespeare studies and criticism of the novel.
