Reviews

Simultaneously rooted within the context of contemporary comics culture and within the historical and visual modalities of Trollope's own era.... Each chapter is richly embedded in relevant scholarly debates. This compelling volume will engage readers from a range of disciplinary fields, particularly nineteenth-century literary studies, adaptation studies, and theories of the graphic novel and comics. * Review 19 *

The other 2015 book on Trollope to be drawn to our attention is Simon Grennan and Laurence Grove’s edited collection, 'Transforming Anthony Trollope: Dispossession, Victorianism and Nineteenth-Century Word and Image', consisting of cross-disciplinary essays providing a companion to Grennan’s graphic novel. [...] challenging, well-produced collection of essays. The Year's Work in English Studies, Volume 96, Issue 1, 1 September 2017, Pages 703–915, https://doi.org/10.1093/ywes/max015 * The Year's Work in English Studies, * This compelling volume will engage readers from a range of disciplinary fields, particularly nineteenth-century literary studies, adaptation studies, and theories of the graphic novel and comics.Michelle Keown, Review 19, April 2018 * Review 19 * 'Transforming Anthony Trollope' is an intellectually stimulating book of essays that deals with very diverse topics. This diversity is a potential weakness, because of a lack of thematic focus. But this is compensated by the richness of what the editors have collected. The collection shows that research on the crossroads of cultural historical mentalities studies and visual culture studies can be very fruitful.Olivier Rieter, Barbarus, April 10, 2019
