Media Reviews
This collection of essays should be a 'must' for those whose interests focus on the late Victorian cultural world, as it is observed through the lense of the Gothic. In private or in academic and public libraries, this book will doubtless enjoy a long shelf life. -- Benjamin F. Fisher, University of Mississippi
Very professionally edited by two world leaders in Gothic studies, this collection offers well-written, sharply documented, and "heart of the matter" accounts by experts on each significant realm of the Victorian Gothic, along with an excellent bibliography of further readings. It is therefore a highly valuable book for students of the Gothic world-wide. -- Jerrold E. Hogle, The University of Arizona
