While the impressionistic vagueness of Victorian reviewing seldom prompts us to take it as a serious repository of poetic theory, Dawson's study encourages us to look again. It helps us to see once again how Victorian poets could develop formal solutions to social or institutional problems. In particular, Dawson illuminates figures of aesthetic value that were shared between poems and reviews - figures that crystalize notable Victorian ideas about poetry's worth and reach. In this thoughtful and stimulating work of scholarship, Dawson enriches our understanding of Victorian poetry and print-culture alike. * Justin A. Sider, Review 19 *
