Reviews

At its best, Street Songs conveys Karlin's feeling for his chosen works of nineteenthand twentieth-century poetry and fiction, even as he expertly guides us through their ""contexts and allusions,"" their ""analogies and resonances,"" freeing them from protective custody and into the hearts and minds of his readers * Lee Behlman, Montclair State University, VICTORIAN STUDIES * ...inspired interpretation grounded in extensive research. * Elizabeth Helsinger, Modern Language Review * Deeply researched, but wearing its erudition lightly, this is a wonderful read. * Pamela K. Gilbert, Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 *
