Recenzje

'... thoroughly researched account...' Times Literary Supplement 'George J. Worth gives us a much-needed account of the rise and fall of Macmillan's Magazine, 1859-1907...

They are valuable not only because they reveal the archival sources that underpin Worth's study, but also because they often provide brief essays on topics relevant to the story it tells.'
