"""At last, proper emphasis is given to the interaction between print and the visual cultures of the Romantic period. Wonderfully comprehensive and authoritative, ranging from aesthetic discourse through exhibition practices, popular spectacle, the print shop, illustration, magazine culture and the afterlife of Romanticism in film. Inspirational and indispensable in equal measure."" -Nicola Watson, Open University"
