Media Reviews
The only anthology in print that I would assign for a Victorian seminar. --Susan C. Cowan, California State University, Long Beach Virtually the only anthology of Victorian prose and poetry available. The selections are representative of some of the authors' best works and the illustrations reflect the atmosphere and mood of the period. --Frank S. Juszczyk, Western New Mexico University Impressive selections from a rich resource. The notes and aids are helpful without getting in the way. --Nathan Moore, Alabama State University A nice selection of texts by the prose writers, and I was pleased with the ample section on the Pre-Raphaelites. The introductory pieces on the authors are also appropriate for an introductory course. --Christina Rieger, University of Notre Dame I have used Trilling and Bloom repeatedly. It is the most comprehensive text at thebest price. Well-represented, well-presented. --Sherry Mleynek, University of Hawaii at Hilo A fine selection of major works in a manageable anthology, comprehensive without being overwhelming. It contains everything needed for a one-semester course. --John H. Wilson, Dakota Wesleyan University Still best coverage and availability of materials. --Marjorie Perloff, Stanford University Extremely useful for a seminar intended to provide students with both depth and breadth in the Romantic period. The selections are excellent...the introduction is astute on Romanticism and its legacy. --Elizabeth Renker, The Ohio State University Excellent! This book contains everything I desired for my course. --Duane Haack, Buena Vista College Best text I know for the period. --Edna L. Steeves, University of Rhode Island The best compendium of Victorian prose and poetry now in print. --Gayla S. McGlamery, Loyola College The editors pronounced personalities are a refreshing prescence in the bland anthological world. --Vara Neverow, Southern Connecticut State University
