Reviews
the twenty-six original essays provide a remarkable portrait of the English-language novel's dynamic history in every corner of the globe ... the book offers a picture of multiple literary histories working simultaneously, and of a time when the English reading public's zone of curiosity expanded rapidly. Michael Lapointe, Times Literary Supplement
