Media Reviews
A very useful edition of some hard-to-obtain works, especially those of women. --John H. Wilson, Dakota Weslyan University
Invaluable in providing a background to prose fiction of the period and to introduce some women writers. I believe my students now will have a better understanding of the development of the novel. --Deanna Evans, Bemidji State University
