Recenzje

"Visualising Britain's Holy Land in the Nineteenth Century offers a helpful new way to look at the relationship between nineteenth century Britain and the Holy Land. ... Burritt's book will therefore be of interest not only to students and scholars of art, religion, or colonialism in the nineteenth century, but also to those looking at the roots of contemporary Christian attitudes toward Israel and Palestine." (Andrew Crome, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 60 (4), October, 2021)
