About this book
Reviews
“Book-Men, Book Clubs, and the Romantic Literary Sphere sheds valuable light upon the depth and nature of this impact, greatly illuminating the world of the Romantic bookman: his texts, activities, and communities.” (Daniel Norman, Notes and Queries, Vol. 66 (1), March, 2019)
“Ina Ferris’s Book-Men, Book Clubs and the Romantic Literary Sphere offers original contributions to this growing area of research. … Book-Men, Book Clubs, and the Romantic Literary Sphere draws on impressively diverse printed and archival sources to support its lucid arguments. Ferris analyses a variety of lesser-known works written by, or about, book-men and book clubs. … Beyond Romantic scholars, Ferris’s research will also interest Victorianists.” (Lindsey Eckert, Review of English Studies, Vol. 67 (281), September, 2016)
“Ferris’ work represents an important development in our understanding of reading culture beyond the high-minded criticism of the Edinburgh journals. … Bringing the bookman to the fore of our understanding of book culture, Ferris’ work, I am sure, will offer an engaging point of departure for future studies of reading culture during the Romantic period.” (James M. Morris, The BARS Review, Issue 48, Autumn, 2016)
