Recenzje

'… a very welcome addition to the scholarly work on the 1880s. Ambitious in scope, it also manages to cover a satisfyingly broad range of issues related to literature and culture within its 249 pages. Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition: The 1880s is organized elegantly along thematic lines so that each essay leads naturally into its successor, which picks up threads introduced in the previous discussion and develops them in new directions.' Linda Dryden, Victorian Studies
