The Author's Effects engagingly insists that we attend to the presence and particularity of its examples, that we share Watson's fascination with the ability of each to effect the author it evokes. * LuAnn McCracken Fletcher, Cedar Crest College , Review 19 *

Watson is an assured and intuitive guide to the perhaps slightly introspective world of the writer's house museum. She knows the literature well (there are 92 pages of notes and bibliography to 231 pages of text) and her awareness of critical theory does not come at the cost of clarity of expression. It is a broad-ranging, thoughtful and informative book. * Stephen Clarke, The Johnsonian News Letter * The Author's Effects engagingly insists that we attend to the presence and particularity of its examples, that we share Watson's fascination with the ability of each to effect the author it evokes. * LuAnn McCracken Fletcher, Cedar Crest College , Review 19 *
