Reviews

'The scope of Daly's project is commendable, embracing the long nineteenth century through the cultural lenses of England, France, and the United States ... In opening the possibility for comparison based on the popularity and afterlife of a cultural text as it invokes various figures of the 'demographic imagination', Daly's project is a delightful engagement with various material and aesthetic cultures of the nineteenth century.'
