Recenzje

'Menke has assembled an astonishingly rich archive of primary material, unearthing anecdotes and historical consiliences that play no small part in ramifying and finessing the transitions that link together the various sections of his study … crystal clear in its formulations … and carefully argued throughout …' Aaron Worth, Victorian Studies
