Reviews

"""This is a warm-hearted and meticulous book about a neglected author. Ainsworth and Dickens's careers intertwined, and yet, Ainsworth has all but disappeared from our cultural consciousness. This book makes a compelling case for his importance. The numbers speak for themselves, indicating his productivity, popularity, and longevity...""-- ""Dickens Quarterly, Vol. 38.2 (June 2021)"""
