Reviews

Lee's contributions to novel theory and to studies of appetite in the nineteenth century are ingenious and frequently compelling. He proffers insightful, incisive readings of a range of novels ... inviting us to ponder the ways in which details of appetite and consumption, often hidden in plain sight, function to bring entirely new interpretive possibilities into view. (Parama Roy, Victorian Studies, Vol. 61 (3), 2019)
