Reviews

'This book captures some of the many reasons why it's an exciting time to be a scholar of the British nineteenth century. ... An important contribution to our emerging understanding of historical poetics. I hope other scholars consider her methods and continue the work of making Victorian poetry a more complex and world-conscious field of study.' Jason Rudy, Review 19 (www.nbol-19.org)
