Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A fully annotated anthology of Victorian literature is a massive undertaking, and the editors are to be commended for this near-heroic level of endeavor and the inclusiveness of their selections."--Florence Boos, University of Iowa
"In Victorian Literature Shea and Whitla have created a unique anthology that continues as an online resource, extending the contents in deep and subtle ways. The reader finds a rich account of Victorian culture, from issues of industrialisation, gender, and colonial ideology to the art and architecture of the period, including the Victorian art form, the photograph. The comprehensive gathering of poems includes women's poetry and working-class poetry."--Isobel Armstrong, Birkbeck, University of London
