Reviews

Ozarska's book makes a significant contribution to various aspects of Nineteenth- Century Studies and is particularly valuable for both comparative Studies of European literature and Women's Studies. (Olga Baird, Independent Scholar, Birmingham, UK) The most conspicuous merits of the book include, for one thing, a unique juxtaposition of the two authors' biographies and their travel writing (although Shelley and Rautenstrauchowa never met, yet - Ozarska aptly points out - their biographies and literary oeuvre show a number of parallels) (Prof. Dariusz Rott, University of Silesia, Poland)
