Opis

A rich history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators.

Recenzje

'Parry reminds is that many readers in the early decades of the twentieth century had different expectations. The illustrators she discusses had deeply personal relations with the books they worked on … [Parry] pays these illustrators the tribute of discussing their works as art.' Dinah Birch, Times Literary Supplement
