Recenzje

'This truly important book - generous in its acknowledgment of other scholars and energizing in its vivid, sharp, entertaining style - expands our sense of Romantic era theater and print culture, advances our sense of Cockneyism in the period, and offers fresh, powerful accounts of Haz-litt and Keats.' Jeffrey N. Cox, The Wordsworth Circle
