Review :
"Case and Shaw can show students how to read attentively." (English, February 2010) "Especially beneficial for the student or teacher of a course in the Victorian novel, this book offers short analytical synopses with easy-to-follow headings ... useful for a quick reference ... .The authors negate the image of the Victorian as 'stuffy, hidebound, and obsessed with propriety' ... .But what perhaps is most interesting is the focus on narrative voice.? (English Literature in Transition 1820-1920)
