'Through its range of genres and cultural periods, meticulous scholarship, and respect for the public life of women writers' documents, Unarrested Archives recalibrates perspectives on what might be uncovered and what must be preserved.' -- Patricia Demers BC Studies February 2016

‘Through its range of genres and cultural periods, meticulous scholarship, and respect for the public life of women writers’ documents, Unarrested Archives recalibrates perspectives on what might be uncovered and what must be preserved.’ -- Patricia Demers * BC Studies February 2016 * ‘Morra hopes that her book will encourage researchers to think more broadly about archives’ formations, their locations, and the relationships they organize and epitomize. Her case studies provide a sustained engagement with these issues, although each could be read as a fascinating stand-alone piece.’ -- Andrea Beverley * English Studies in Canada vol 41:04:2015 * ‘An excellent introduction to textual feminism as a materialist practice…. This book will remind readers of why we need feminism in the second decade of the twenty-first century.’ -- Tanis MacDonald * Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature vol 35:01:2016 * ‘This minutely researched and thoroughly engaging study expands scholarly understanding of how literary archives are shaped by national institutions.’ -- Cristina Ivanovici * British Journal of Canadian Studies vol 29:02:2016 *
